Naomi got to start school today, Thursday. Not Wednesday, which we thought would be her first day because it is the first day of "Term 2." There was so much confusion and discussion around where Isaac would fit in, no one worried about Naomi staring on the first day of the term. But once I figured out the only solution was for Isaac to go into the 10th grade at Green Hills, I tried to push (gently) to get Naomi fully registered and ready to start.
She did great! We tried on uniforms in the school store, which has clothing, apparel and all books and stationary stacked on neat shelves in a bare, warehouse-style room. I paid the fees at the bank. That was a bit of an experience, too. When you exchange this many (tuition) dollars for Rwandan cash, you end up with a lot of bills!

| First day - a little nervous? |

| Wonderful "Teacher Sarah" for class 5B (5th grade). |

| Day before first day - uniform purchasing at the school. |
 |
| Trying on in the back room -- "This sports uniform is so un-stylish it's funny!" |
 |
| Pick up time at the end of day 1 -- Naomi made it! |
