House hunting and a visit to the schools

Yesterday we piled into a school car and headed out to the schools.  On the way we stopped at a potential rental house that staffer Bosco had found for us.  It is close to what we were after with two minor issues - it has no garden and is still being built.  It is one of six 2-bedroom houses in a compound with a shared guard.  You can see the site at 0.326820°, 32.444490°.  We are assured it will be ready for us in 2 weeks - we'll see.  In Google Each you can see we will be in a rural area that is being built on.  Many of our neighbours will be commuting into Kampala each day.

Next stop was the high school (0.325420°, 32.351990°).  This is under construction and is due to open in June.  It is very well designed and built.

One of the three High School wings.

Then we moved on to the Katuuso Primary School (0.305163°, 32.287429°) that has been up and running for about six years.  This is where Jenny will be spending most of her time.  Here we met all the kids, teachers and ancillary staff who made us most welcome.  Again - a great facility with impressive staff.  A highlight was the piggery which makes a considerable contribution to the school operating funds.





A few new birds during the day's travelling included White-throated Bee-eater, White-browed Coucal, Angola Swallow, Palm Swift, Village and Viellot's Black Weavers, Pin-tailed Whydah, Spotted Flycatcher, Bronze Mannikin, African Pied Flycatcher and Northern Grey-headed Sparrow.
