On Monday morning we said a sad farewell to Angela and John,
aka Uganda Mummy and Daddy.
We first met them at our Oak Hall training week in
September, where they attempted to squeeze 5 years of teacher training into 1
day. They were a real help and made us feel a bit more prepared for the huge
challenges ahead!
Angela and John flew out to Uganda on the same day as us but
on a different flight, so we welcomed them with open arms when they drove
through the gates of the Smile Centre.
It has been invaluable to have them here for our first two
weeks. They have been incredibly supportive and encouraging, especially in the
schools when we were worried about how teaching was going! They were not just
here for teacher training though, they have helped us to settle in to life here
and it was just so nice to have someone here who shared our English perspective
on things!
We were really sad to see them go (hiding their passports
was seriously considered) but we so much appreciate the time you did spend
here. Thank you for giving up your time to be here with us and please keep in
touch!
Lots and lots of love from the Gappers,
Anna, Grace, Jon, Kathryn, Sarah and Susie xxxxxx
