Everyone's excited to get to camp. While the facilities are simple, the setting is beautiful: a wide plain overlooking Lake Victoria that is framed on two sides by mountain ranges and vast tea plantations. I'm adopted early on by two of the boys, Eric and Brian. Everyone has trouble with my name (Seth just doesn't translate well) so I'm renamed: Mayanja. And, since this is a name associated with the Buganda tribe, I'm given a clan as well: Monkey. Kids ate a HUGE lunch that consisted of Matoke (boiled green bananas with peanut sauce, a local favorite), casava meal, sweet potatoes and beef stew. Played some "icebreaker" games after everyone got settled in their rooms. Kids finished the night with prayer and some local songs.
