Amani Baby Cottage

So, as of today I am officially finished working at children's homes ;) I've been in Jinja, Uganda for the past week at Amani Baby Cottage....and I have been able to add (woopee!!) a couple of photos of my favorite children from this home ;) I was able to take the boy in yellow to town today. We walked there with a couple other children and volunteers and he officially ate an entire strawberry milkshake, a piece of chocolate cake with whipping cream....and then proceeded to finish off half of my slice of cake, half of another boy's milkshake and a couple swigs of my iced coffee.....needless to say, he was pretty hyper afterward....it was great ;)

And then....probably my favorite moment of the week, we hopped onto a boda boda and drove back to the children's home. And if you're thinking 'a boda boda?'....that would mean that we hopped onto the back of a motorcycle, me on the back and my little yellow shirted friend in the middle of me and the driver. He (NOT the driver) was giggling the entire way home, and then would stop and say, 'my tummy hurts'....maybe because I fed him a TON of sugar......I'm not quite sure though ;) And probably the cutest thing of all: He calls me Auntie Cheryl (AKA 'Auntie Cherwuw)....at least that's how he says it. I have it on video because it's just too cute :)

And the second picture of the little girl....words cannot describe.....I just LOVE her....stories when I'm home.......

And in other news, tomorrow I'm rafting the nile ;) Let's pray I don't drown. I've been told they're class 5 rapids ;) And the day after that, I'm visiting a family outside of jinja and then the day after that....MPIGI! Maybe one more post from mpigi....we'll see ;)

In the meantime, enjoy the, uh, TWO photos ;)
