Every year, ISU holds about 2-3 "Family Fun Days" for anyone who would like to spend their afternoon on a weekend at school. The most recent fun day had a carnival theme. There were many little carnival games, as well as cotton candy. The games each cost 500 Ush. Also, the school provided pretty decent Chinese food (which is hard to get out in Uganda) for 9500 Ush, which is about $5.50. It is never the most fun thing in the world, but always a cool time to socialize. This time, ISU held a costume parade, in which anybody could dress up under a topic of history and parade around. If you were voted to be the best in your age group, you won candy or other prizes. Also, there was a statue contest where the entrants have to stay still for an entire hour in a cool costume, but no Campbell boys joined (an hour is just a bit too long). The pictures are of Jack and JT dressing up for the parade. Sadly, they didn't win the best costume award for their age group.

How do you carry around the money over there? In a wheelbarrel?
9,500 = $5.50. g'pops
haha
here you carry money in much larger sums of money
one $ is somwhere around 1750 Ush and you carry one thousand bills, 500 coins, and occasionally 100/200 coins. Then there are 5000, 10000, 20000, and 50000 bills.
