Today, the Just Like My Child scholarship recipients assembled at Bishop Asili to pack up all of their school requirements and head back to Kampala, where they will finish out the term.
Once we got everything packed up and organized we were all feeling a bit idle and anxious waiting for the vehicle to come so that we could load up. Nyangoma is always sure to keep us on our toes with her unlimited amount of energy. She decided to pretend that who ever was wearing these crociated, colorful doilies on her head was having their wedding day. She sang a "wedding day song" that she had made up. She doesn't look like a very happy bride!!
We played until it was time to get smartly dressed in uniforms in preparation for boarding school life once more. 
We first went to St. Joseph Nsambya to drop off the girls. 
There were lots of people waiting in many lines to get registered back into school. The girl's and I shifted from line to line with all their luggage. Brooms and basins and bars of soap were accidentally left in this line or that. It was a bit chaotic, but we finally managed to get all of the girls registered for the term and signed in with their matrons. If I had been with American children today I surely would have made a crack about how I felt like I was in a Harry Potter novel with these brooms, but I kept my own amusement to myself. It would have been so much easier to drop them off at Kings Cross Station Platform 9 3/4 and let Hogwarts handle the rest. 
When I was sure everyone was settled and had everything they needed, I hugged them, encouraged them and bid them farewell. 
We then headed to St. Peter's primary school to drop off William. It was a cake walk. Things were much more organized and less chaotic. I helped William to get settled into his dorm. When we had finished making his bed and he was feeling organized I said my goodbye's. I already can't wait until their next visiting day!http://www.justlikemychild.com/
