Wednesday, November 29th. Today we only had one class in the afternoon for Snowview College, a technical school in Kasese. I spent most of the morning preparing for it. I also washed some clothes and read my Bible and devotional books.
After I had prepared for the class I was asking someone about the class, how it was set up, class size, and how advanced I should go. I was planning to teach on three areas: cross cultural training, personal finance, and business interpersonal skills. As I was asking questions I realized that I was targeting way above my actual students heads. Apparently the class would be just a few students, mostly village girls learning how to sew, who may not even know how to read and write.
The class did turn out to small (only about 9 students). I re designed the class to only cover business interpersonal skills (a colors system personality test to increase individual self esteem mostly) and personal finance (3 ways to use money, setting up a spending dairy and a spending plan/budget). But I think they enjoyed it.
One interesting thing to note, when I shared a Bible verse in class all the students and their teachers scrabble to write the reference down, apologized for not having their Bibles with them but promised to look it up when they got home. Such a different attitude towards Godly things here. There is an openness. Many of the businesses have a Christ based slogan or name. Even the hotel I'm at, Embassy Guest house, has a slogan of "Lord is Good All the Time." Of course, that doesn't mean that all those places are Christian founded or even represent Christian morals.
