I can’t believe it is our 5th
day here already. We asked mama Pamela
if she could call a motorcycle/ boda boda for us because we needed to get to a school
called Osari Primary school which was approximately 1.5 hours walk away. We got on the motorbike around 8:40 and
headed over. We were supposed to meet
Carren, who is a CHW in that area but we didn’t see her when we arrived. The teachers welcomed us warmly and we talked
shortly about what the children are learning and then one of the teachers
introduced us to the principal/ headmaster. We told
the principal about what we were planning to do at the schools and talked very briefly and then he helped us call Carren to figure out where she was. There was a change of plan and she was at a
different school called Lisuka. The
principal said it was 1.5 km away which didn't sound too far, and he said
it was totally walk-able, so we started walking.
Even after 30 minutes, the school was nowhere to be seen. Carren called us a couple of times,
and she said she will send a motorbike on our way. We got on a motorbike and went for about 5
minutes and arrived at Lisuka primary school.
He charged us 50 shlilings which was a bit too much for the distance he
took us, but since I didn’t have anything smaller, so I just paid him.
