I don’t know how our cohort nick-named itself “Cohort Best” rather than a more mundane title like Education Cohort 3. I thought maybe it was Becky, who loves Superlatives, but she credits Katy J.. Anyway, we were a pretty veteran crew who came to Kazo Uganda and put on a camp for the Blue House girls orphanage on a recent Saturday. I had written about the Blue House here...That photo above is another frame-able. It belongs in a brochure.
We started proceedings with a welcome and introductions and a little talk I give to schools about trying your best and always being honest
We ended my little portion with an energizer called “Rainstorm”
Mackenzie led a session for the whole camp, including staff on Nutrition
“Now, is this a healthy plate?”
Lillian on the left is a bright leader, but that is a lot of butter!
What’s Dave looking for?
Mackenzie. 24, a Health Volunteer, has roots in both Chicago and Iowa. She is a graduate of the University of Iowa, double majoring in Political Science and International Studies. She studied in Tanzania for a year. After service, she intends to obtain a Master’s Degree in Public Health. I believe she has been accepted by eleven schools so far. Hard choice coming up.
We all went outside and Scott led a variation of Simon Says.
The older girls went to the sewing room, where Kelly, assisted by David, learned to sew RUMPs
Kelly, 25, a Health volunteer, is from Indiana PA. and has a degree in French from the University of Pittsburgh. After her service, she will attend nursing school, and eventually would like to work for the French organization, Medicens sans Frontiers (Doctors without Borders). If you follow the news, you know that will take courage

Karen gives it a shot
Doin’ the RUMPs shuffle
Well done!
Meanwhile, the Primary age girls learn about washing their hands properly
Getting it right
Only the roof of the Blue House is blue. We were lucky to have great weather during our visit, which is supposed to be the beginning of rainy season, but now those permagardens need to get wet!
After Scott observed many of the girls did not use their mosquito nets properly,, they segued into a session on why nets are important. Scott had a bad case of malaria last year.
Mosquito tag! A couple of kids with cardboard mosquitoes try to ‘infect’ their mates with malaria. Scott and Mackenzie make a safe haven ‘net’. in the background.
If you get malaria, you need a doctor to get back in the game.
My turn as mosquito was exhausting! Those kids can turn on a dime. I eventually adopted the lion hunting strategy and let another mosquito drive a victim towards me.
The district probation officer, Fortunate Abaho, gave an inspirational talk.
Fortunate had never heard of the Peace Corps so Karen recruited Mackenzie to explain how during training, you learn how to make those duck shadows..
Yum! Part two of the camp is in the next post!
