A different kind of school

On my very first day here in Uganda we were able to go teach a bible story at a nearby school. 
This is the entire school building... 2 classrooms and who knows how many grades

This is inside one of the classrooms. There are dirt floors the the "chalkboard" is painted on but about 95% worn off. The kids are crammed into these little benches with about 10inches of board connected to write on as the desktop. The school had extremely minimal supplies.. No paper, crayons, art supplies, ext.. They do have little books but they share one per 7kids and they share pencils the same way. 
But, regardless of all that, these kids genuinly want to be at school and are some of the happiest kids I've ever seen. 
The decor in this class and the coloring pages are craft supplies we brought them!
