This last week we hosted the International President of COTN, along with his wife and son. It was a fast week completely packed with meetings, programs, tours, etc. You Americans like to pack your schedules full of things to do. I'm just kidding I know I do the same thing.



During this visit we travelled to Banta for two days. While there the school was having there annual sports day. The sports day is like a glorified field day, but they get really excited for it and everyone turns out to watch it. They divided the school into four teams which they call houses. There's Blue House-Dominican Republic, Red House- Malawi, Green House- Sierra Leone, and Yellow House-Uganda, each team representing a country that Cotn is involved in. Sarah was in Green House and I was in Blue House.

Some of the races are the typical 1,500 meter, or the 200 meter race, but they also have races where they balance things on their heads, and for the little ones they have a race where they carry a baby on their back in they typical way that the mothers carry their babies.
The end results were Yellow House coming in first, Blue House second(yeah!! they normally lose), Red House third and Green House last(sorry Sarah!). It was a beautiful day and the kids all had a great time!
