View over Queen Elizabeth Park

    Today  we went to a park called Queen Elizabeth National Park and another school with the head of the Girls to Lead Africa organization, Kansiime Honest. We went to the school first, and met many more high school girls. The things girls said about themselves were, well to be honest, I couldn't really understand what they were saying so I just clapped when other people clapped, and acted like I was listening.  My mom said it was really amazing because these girls were so strong and confident, although they came from extremely poor families who prefer boys over girls.  The girls beat  many boys in their school  elections. 

    We went on a “safari” and saw lots of animals like: Elephants, Monkeys, Kob Antelope, Topi, Baboon, Water Buffalo,  Water Buck, Hippopotami, Spotted Hyenas, Monitor Lizard, Tree Climbing Lion cubs, and last but totally least, birds. Sorry bird lovers. Tree climbing lions only exist in two parts of the world but we got to see them!  The sad part is they weren’t actually in a tree. They were cubs and  their mother had hidden them in the grass to go hunting, but at least they were adorable!! That is all for today, Britin Richards signing out.
