Josiah's Aerial Adventures


So, I (Josiah) had the opportunity to hop on a plane at Soroti's flying school. After 3 hours of waiting, I was finally invited to come aboard this 4 seater Cessna. The pictures speak for themselves so I don't need to say much. Enjoy!

Painting Faces

I (Sarah) have been spending quite a bit of time at our friends James and Norah's place. Wed just a year and a half ago, James and Norah have 18 children! The only explanation is their huge hearts, opening their home to so many vulnerable children in Soroti area.

Right now, the children are on their holidays from school, so they need a bit more "entertainment" during the day. The other day I found face paint in one of their Operation Christmas Child boxes. I'm sure that none of them had experienced face paint before and were quite curious to see how this paint would transform their faces. Clowns, flowers, kittens, tigers and a "scary man" were the requests, so I set to work as best as I could despite the lack of a paint brush and the dry state of the paint. At the end of the day, not only did their faces explode with colour, but mine as well! Not sure what the inspiration was when their little fingers coloured my face, but at least they had fun!
