Frisør

Hald is an international school indeed. The different hair styles say it all. What beauty! Infield (a period inbetween the six months of internship) had a display of most, if not all the hair styles. So spectacular! Thanks to the hair dressers like Bruno, Tabitha, Landi, Miriam, Rossie, Sylvia, and Cireni

New year in Norway

Ofcourse it was a different experience celebrating new years eve in Norway; less, or almost no noise, as compared to new years eve back in Uganda, watching fire works at a closer vicinity, hugging different people and welcoming them into a new year. Was so nice, especially with the youth at the new years camp at Mjuklia.

And instead of muchomo and tea... it is cake, coffee, tea...

At this time of the year, it is warm, which is the exact opposite here in Norway. It's winter and therefore, very cold. But the excitement somehow scares away the fear of coldness to an extent that you fall onto the snow and relax.

Reflecting on the past year and thinking about what happened, why? and how? is often what takes place the last, about 45 minutes of the last year. A new years eve service is held and worship and prayer takes place, thanking God for taking us through the old year and asking Him with faith to take us through the new year.

Reunion

It sure was a reunion, the pictures show it all. Some weeks behind it was departure time and we all felt the pain of missing each other cut through our hearts and looked forward to November. Now it has come and gone and we look forward to infield and the spring course. It's a feeling of friends missing each other.

Wafels

This was such a beautiful night I can never forget. I was so touched by the fact that some drunkards joined the team to serve out wafels. They came here drunk,and left sober. WAOH!


We had free TV recording from these precious souls.
This lady was good company,though she was doing her own flower business. I believe she never remained the same.

Ny i Norge

I had very interesting norsk classmates. So much fun, grumbling, changing of teachers, eating cake, watching films, sharing food..... extremely diversified kind of studying. In this picture, 11 countries are represented; Iran, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Russia, India, Poland, Vietnam, Norway, Brazil and Korea

Visiting Laget

After the norsk course, we headed for Volda to visit Laget. The visit included presentations of our experience at Hald, FOCUS (Uganda) and information about financial support for IFES' two projects of the year(2008). i.e. Christian Union in Asebadjan and Child project in Uganda.These pretty girls hosted us that night. They were so kind that we felt so much at home.


The ferries were such a relief because traveling for 9 hours by bus was a bit sickening to imagine after a long time of not traveling here and there.


At Ålesund, waiting to board the plane back home(Trondheim). Since we had not caught enough sleep at night, It was almost inevitable to avoid dosing off.

Relax

Stress has become a common problem among many who have occupations that last for atleast 10 hours. It's often hard to balance time between hard work and rest.
However, it is so healthy to make relaxation, exercises or leisure part of the weeks programme.Less or non concentration games are relaxing 'cause they take the mind off brain-draining issues.
Enjoying the company of others over a glass of juice, water or a cup of tea, coffee, or a bowl of delicious soup.




Learning new skills that would otherwise not be acquired in the midst of a tight schedule-filled life.
