On Sunday night, two new volunteers arrived. John and Becky are from Wisconsin...just across the lake!!! Up until now, Jenna and I have been staying in the guest house alone (all the other volunteers are in the Watoto apartments but they are too full for anymore volunteers). The guesthouse that Jenna and I were staying at was also full, so Jenna and I moved to the one that John and Becky are at. We've only been here for one night, but it's already so nice to have people to talk to and such.
The Bulrushes also got four new babies this week!! 3 newborns (Emily, and twins whose names are "Twin 1" and "Twin 2" in Lugandan (they will be given names)) and a zebra (9 month old- about a year and a half), Lucky. Lucky isn't staying with us for long because there isn't space for him, there are no more beds! He will either be sent to another baby home in Jinja or put in a foster home. The picture is of Lucky. It seems you either think he is adorable or weird looking. I, personally, find him adorable!! He's got the most ridiculous hair and his ears stick way out, but only at the tops. He looks like a little elf.
He is half Indian, half Ugandan so he is lighter than the other children. And that picture doesn't do his hair justice...it is so crazy!!
He is so cute! I can see the Elfness. And what a name. Hopefully he'll have more than just luck on his side through out his life.
