The annual Concert and Sports Day at Mukinge Hill Academy held last Saturday, 19th July was a success, in my humble opinion. "Concert" is perhaps a strong term, although this is the official title given to the event; the kids sang songs complete with plenty of body movement, recited poems and memory verses from the Bible, and acted out a play based on the story of Joseph and his brothers from the Old Testament (see picture posted last Sunday). The sports part of the day included running races, potato sack races, wheelbarrow races (plenty of crashes in this one), three legged races, long distance races (twice around the perimeter of the school grounds), and a long distance race for the children's mothers (somehow this race ended up being significantly shorter than the long distance race for the kids :-)). I think we had around 70 parents and community members in attendance in addition to all our students; it was great to see the local community including lots of staff members from Mukinge Hospital supporting what's going on at the academy.
