Welcome Back and Daily Tasks

After 7 1/2 months my parents have come back to Uganda with a very big welcome from us. We had a celebration cake. .Life has been quite hard while they have been away, Managing the boys, the girls and two young babies has been hard. It was difficult to go out, it was hard to make sure they all helped around the house properly thus making sure the house was managed well. So I am so relieved to have them back.

For the Last 7 years or so my parents have always lived in a separate house. Due to fiancial reasons it was very difficult to rent a house for the family and being one person it was also very difficult to look after all my children and have time for them individually. So we all moved into their house just before they left. Since my parents have been back my mum has sorted out so many untidy rooms, sorting out clothes and books and tidying up the general muddle which I hadn't really time to do while they were away. We have been in a mess for such a long time. My Dad has organised all the children by making sure all the household jobs are well distributed with a rota. Each day a child will be on a washing up rota, sweeping the house, the compound, cleaning the water filter and filling up the container, cooking and in the evening to watch the gate and so prevent intruders entering.

This is Orikodi in the picture on the right. It's his turn tonight being incharge of the gate. It was raining so my father gave him a raincoat to wear.

Orikodi is now in the first year of A/Levels. He is studyng Maths, Economic, Geography and Art. He did well in his O/Levels getting a score of forty just missing first grade. He is very hardworking and with my Mum's new computer and with better internet access he is able to research on the internet various topics such as geographical faults. He has a leisurely attitude to life in general.
