Checking into Ramula

One of the main purposes for our trip was for Adrian to have an opportunity to experience life in Africa and to even teach in a rural high school.  Pamela, the Principal was excited that we were coming and she graciously offered up classes for Adrian to teach.  On Friday, Adrian met Kevin, the deputy head teacher and was invited to help coach the boys soccer team who was entered into a tournament the next day.  Adrian was happy for something purposeful to do and he had a long hot day, coaching both soccer and basketball.
Back at Dan's we watched as the sky got darker and darker.  Suddenly we were hit with a violent windstorm that knocked out the hydro.  Dan spent the rest of the night trying to find the break and with the help of some community members they found it, brought in an electrician by boda boda and had it fixed.  When the power was returned I was able to make some dinner which we enjoyed on Dan's new table.  Unbelievable adventure at the end of a wonderful day.

School life!
