Clubs

Posted by The Pierces in News on June 15th, 2008

In the interest of offering our students some extracurricular joys, some opportunities to learn beyond the mind-numbing Ugandan academic curriculum: we offer Clubs. Meeting twice a month on Friday nights, Clubs draw in staff as coordinators and students as avid attenders – enjoying their much-needed break from the daily evening preps. We have math and science clubs, stitching and knitting clubs, drama and music clubs. The night air pulses with the hum of happy students – enjoying their gifts.

This year we felt N and Q were old enough to join the fun and they did not disappoint us, hanging out with us all until 10 pm and exulting in the attention of their Ugandan friends who were quick to invite them in to the fun. Quinn (with David as back up ) played a spirited game of chess with Nkojo while Naomi stitched a beautiful embroidered flower and later began to learn how to crochet a border. Many thanks to Elaine, who donated all the crafting materials for the stitching club.

    Hi Pierces!

    Nice pictures — looks like my student in the pink shirt! I have a question, can I email you the letter for my student? Also, what is the address to send letters? We’ve seen several different addresses. I tried emailing you but you probably haven’t been able to check your email for awhile.

    Thanks!
    Jen

    Hrmm that’s weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to state what has nice to be aware of that a person else also mentioned this as I had trouble seeking the same info elsewhere. I thought this was originally that laughed and said the right formula. Thanks.
