National Park

Last Friday we were able to take an amazing trip to a National Park, hence the picture above. But first, we stopped by Emmanuel Academy. Emmanuel Academy is a school that Fr. Paul (one of the priests we stay with) founded. He founded the school because he notice the large amount of orphans in the area and no school. The school was very impressive, it is still getting started but the children were very disciplined and Fr. Paul assured us that he only got qualified teachers. So it looks very promising, but like everything is it seems in Uganda they are in desperate need of financial help.

We went to a National Park with Lake Emburu (sp?). It was really cool, much like a mini safari. We were able to see zebras, wart hogs, monkeys, gazelles, impalas, and water buffalo. We also had the opportunity to go out on a boat on the lake. On the lake we got to see hippos! They were so huge, so fat. But it was really cool. It was like the Nile River ride in Disney World except for real. It was a really good day, and we were gone for about 10 hours. It was really cool to experience Africa in that way, like we see on tv and stuff. So in all Friday was awesome and it was good to get out of Naruzaari and get to be tourist for a day.
