I just received this post from Team 6 leader Suzanne. I am grinning ear to ear this morning; I don't think I've ever seen such joy on the faces of the kids at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage! Suzanne's photos are awesome and amazing.

Mangos
Rope
Pillowcases

Bandanas (2)
Balloons

Whistles (2)
Kiddos

Sense of
adventure and fun
Wild laughter
and jumps of joy
Screams and screeches of pure fun
And a competitive spirit?
You get a new tradition... Spirit Day at SMK! On three sunny, hot Ugandan afternoons
we gathered as a team and rounded up the troops to have what was a High School
tradition for me growing up - Spirit Day. A day of fun and games for all. Laughter erupted, cheers encouraged winning
teams to the finish line, and a spirit of joy filled the grounds of SMK. We played pass the mango under your neck,
limbo, wheel-barrow and potato sack races and a kiddo favorite, the water
balloon toss. The matrons howled with laughter. At the end of the day tootsie roll
pops were had by all, and there were prizes for the winning teams
The pictures
say it best. Team 7: get ready to have some fun with the new SMK Spirit Day
tradition next December."

I can only mimic Gloria in that these pictures and this post made me grin ear to ear. I remember myself and what fun it was running sack races. Thank you so much team six for beginning the tradition of spirit day! Like us, the kids will never forget this. CJ
