Uganda

Today we had a Learning Enrichment day at school. The theme was water. We have had connections with a school in Uganda. They have very few resources. The well of water they used to have broke. They now have to travel about 5 miles to get water and it's not clean! We had many activities and presenters today around our theme of water. We sometimes don't realize how lucky we are to have water. We take it for granted. We use it for everything. We wash our hands, brush our teeth, clean our clothes, clean the dishes, make food, etc. People in Uganda can't even do that. They have to boil their water first to clean it out. They have to use wood and make a fire to boil the water. It's hard for them to even collect wood to do that. The moral of today was to make sure you appreciate everything you have. The next time you beg your parents for an iPhone, think about the kids in Uganda who are thrilled when they get school supplies.
