Nabuyonga Primary School
I have really enjoyed seeing how the Lord is moving in CHANGERS. It is interesting that many of the careers that we present to the kids are things that they did not realize are actually jobs that they could do as they grow older. I have been able to act more as an “assistant” to Glenn. Seeing as the large groups of children understand his English much better than mine AND that Glenn gets SO fired up and into presenting before these kids, I stay more in the background… taking pictures and organizing the next “actors” to come out at the appropriate time. It has been fun to see the kids, right after they presented their career, talking to the other actors about how their peers responded.
Nabuyonga Primary School was our first school in Mbale town. It was fun to see how sharp these kids were at acting. Also, it was surprising to see the physical size of some of these P7 boys. Surely they are not just 12 years old!! When we enter the class, there was row after row of desks. Some kids were climbing on the desks to get back to their seats in the back. We also had a large crowd of kids standing outside the door, overlooking at what was going on in the classroom. All of our actors really got into the part.
There has also been a great addition at the end of the presentation. The day before, we visited a school that brought in the idea of singing a little song that all primary students learn… “Come and see the use of education. Come and see the use of education. I am a doctor, because of education. I am an electrician, because of education. I am a …., because of education.” So, we have now been using this song at the end. Each actor steps forward and announces their career during the part of the song.
We had been feeling like we needed something to appreciate the actors, so at this school we brought sweeties, BUT there was a mad mob of people at the car when I was trying to pass them out to the actors, so Glenn quickly ushered me into the car and we drove off. But we did promise to the actors that we would give them a soccer ball. I look forward to the next town school we will present at.

is very impressive. The origin lies in our childhood when our mind-set was
frozen into a conditioned attitude to advice from all elders. Not encouraged to
exercise independent choice then, we are scared to do it even now.
Understanding this fact with deep feeling and the havoc it plays with
our lives, is the first step we need to take to be self-possessed and
self assured. A beginning should be made with small things. The effort
should be kept up until we catch up with bigger things. Wisely has it
been said, “Take care of little things, big things will take cared of
themselves”. The crying need is to embark on this path right here and
now. career guidance
