Our last day in Jinja was spent painting the Arise Africa Guesthouse. As you can imagine, things became messy once we opened the white paint. The painting tools were not what we were used to and were very hard to use. The tall ceilings and our handmade, wooden, shaky ladder posed challenges for Layne and Thomas (Kaitlyn couldn't quite reach the ceiling). After several hours of hard work, the room was completed and the staff was very impressed with our painting skills. After painting the room, we used the leftover paint to bring our youth to the forefront. Thomas begged for tribal paint while Kaitlyn was going for a more fierce look-a lion, and Layne wanted an even bigger smile. Looking back, the girls should have handled the face painting but Thomas tried to bring out his artistic ability.

Our last night in Jinja ended with dinner and a dance party in the dining room of the guest house. Dacia has been looking after a three year-old orphan, Chloe, who is in the process of being adopted by an American family. She entertained us with her signature dance move now called, "The Chloe." Not only did the laughter give our abs a much needed workout, it was the perfect way to end our last night in Jinja. Our last two days will be spent in Murchison Falls for a safari.
