Sarah sent a zillion stickers to us awhile back to spread around to kids, and we’ve been doing it. You wouldn’t think they’d be so exciting, but they are – the kids gather ‘round to get them. In fact, in 
Mbale outside a slum I gave some to a few kids, and suddenly there was a whole gang surrounding us, all with their hands out. When I ran out of stickers, we had to kind of pry them away from our car so we could leave.The kids here are like that – they are the cutest, but they are there in swarms at the sign of anything exciting. Here are some pictures of some of the kids enjoying our stickers – they love not only the stickers themselves, but the background paper too – you can see it on a couple of them here. And they seem to like putting stickers all over their heads, for some reason.
Anyway, they have fun, and we have half a zillion still remaining so more fun is on the way.

I think people don't understand that emails and comments are so important to people way over in Uganda!
I have to add that when asked what one of the funniest things on my trip was, I told about the sticker craze. The first time it happened, we laughed so hard and had to take pictures. I never even noticed the "sticker outline" until it ended up on heads and arms EVERY TIME. Sarah, you're saving the world one sticker at a time. Eric, bring some stickers, you've got competition!
Thanks, Anna. You are right, we love comments and emails. So many people tell us they read the blog but don't like to leave comments, but it's fun!
I feel guilty that I've never posted a comment, but Theresa, I did want you to know that I do read your blogs. I don't always get to read them when you post them, but I do try to catch up every now and then.
By reading them in batches, as I tend to do, the thing I've really noticed is how you've both changed. You started out as wide-eyed outsiders, and each post has shown how you've progressively grafted yourselves into your surroundings. You've really become a part of your community and it shows! Your blogs are read and definitely enjoyed. Sabra
