School Function with Mr Otim & a chicken!


What a lovely day...I accompanied Mr Otim (Director of one of the other vocational training institutes) to a school function. Mr Otim was the guest of honour and as his friends we were treated extremely well...
 
 
Again, school children sang a welcome song and entertained us with a creative dance, poetry, speeches & a debate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Later Mr Otim was given a gift of a goat as the guest of honour – then completely unexpectedly I was given a live chicken to share with my fellow volunteer, Kul. Unsure what to do with the chicken – we left it in Mr Otim’s care.

Not only did I gain a chicken today, but I was also given a local name – update to follow as not sure how to spell it!

  1. Glad to see you are settling in well! So have you kept the chicken for a pet, eggs or dinner?

  2. The chicken is being well looked after by Mr Otim (for now!)
