Let\u2019s work back through today, as we sit here eating, chatting, sharing photos and catching up. We\u2019ve not been together all day – and even now some of us are missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ambassadors were awesome today. We were a bit late arriving first thing, and Soso was left having to play virtual cricket with a hundred children, which offered some perspective as to whether we would thrive today with three of our number laid low with bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s an end and a beginning: in the middle there was stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headlines would include stuff about 600 children encountering cricket, or about three schools visited, or about two children and a baby who we took home after being flagged down by the police on the way back this evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there was other stuff too. Acquiring a shop\u2019s entire supply of samosas and a shelf of juice. Encountering a cluster of bats chilling in the midday sun. An eagle perched on the hotel balcony. A raucous singalong on the bus as we lurched along a \u2018short cut\u2019. A beer by a lake looking over to Burundi on the other side. And goats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And more stuff. Children embracing new skills. Coaches embossed with stickers. Onlookers looking on bemused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And goats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
