Morning leftover. The girls are doodling on a whiteboard waiting for the RUMPs session to let out.

The afternoon means permagarden time for all the girls. I thought those new pants were supposed to be pajamas!
Matthews wants to dig a permagarden for the village where we did last week’s lesson. Watching Dave teach it twice was helpful.
“This hoe has seconds to live.” About ten readers will get that. Drop me a line!

“…and then that P-2 kid accidentally whacked me with her hoe right here….”
“If you can learn to levitate a ball, like this, you get into Hogwarts. Or Makere U. in Kampala, your choice.”
The older girls talked about HIV, consent, and condoms. The men were kicked out during question time. Scott mobilized the younger ones for “Hide the matoke”
