Well we are still in the new apartment. We haven't heard from them about moving back and we are not pushing them. This past week I had to become a quick expert in Microsoft Access. Ronnie, the program coordinator (like the COO) wants two data bases - one for Human Resources and one for keeping track of the services provided to clients by the counselors and field volunteers. By Friday afternoon we had the HR data base functioning, so he sent out a form for all the employees to provide basic pe...

We went into Kampala on Saturday on a search for the Uganda National Library. We found it but of course they had closed early for some unknown reason. We are looking for books - grades 1-4 - to read with or to the kids in the Learning Cent**. I have been taking one or two low ranked kids each day to have them read a book with me. They have great difficulty but by the end of the session they don't want to leave or want to come back the next day. They need the individual attention and positive ...

It's been a while since my last post to the blog, mainly because we have been so busy. We have sort of a social life and we are busy with our work for Meeting Point. We spent Yom Kippur in an unorthodox way - we went to Jinja with friends and spent the time in the fresh air relaxing, reading, and bird watching. On the way, there was an accident so we had to take a "diversion" which took us on an unmarked rural road - we saw real subsistence living - no electricity, no water, not anything. The...

Goat Races in Kampala were held at the Speke resort. The resort was very impressive and would be a very nice get away - they had horses, gigantic pool, nice bar and restaurant. This is an annual event where people buy goats to race and the money goes to charity. You of course dont keep the goat, because as I quickly realized it was about 20 goats with there numbers being changed with each race. poor things. It was a lot of fun to buy a goat and race it but our group lost :-( There were many v...

Kampala...yes! I have finally managed to get hold of a working internet connection. So, now I will quickly use this chance to write a wee update of the last 2 days, which I have already spent here in Uganda.<br><br>So, the flight...scary! It was so bumpy. I hate flying. Why can we not live in a Harry Potter-world? How easy would it be to step into a fireplace and ...schwupti...Kampala. In the airport there were these healthworkers ...

... walk we were next to inseparable. She climbed on my back, and I was relieved that she weighed less. When we would stop in the forest she would climb down, but not let go of my hand or my arm. She stayed by my side, with a tight grip to remind me that they have the equivalent strength of up to 5 men. At times, she would sit like a child, her legs wrapped around my hips and arms holding tight, and then instinct would take over, and she would hold onto my hips with her feet, freeing my ...

... is a tonal language so to make many of the sounds you have to open your mouth wide showing your teeth and make funny movements with your tongue. I still can't get the 'Nge' sound down.<br><br>This week I've had orientation with Straight Talk Foundation (STF) at their headquarters-where it produces 5 newsletters in different languages for youth (8-14), young adults (15-19), teachers, and parents and air weekly radio programs. I spent a day in their editorial ...

We decided to go to Kampala on Saturday to pick up some funds for the school and to take the Ugandan volunteers for a day out. We had a really good time wandering about the city and eating food that had no matoke near it! For lunch we went to Nando's - not very African but the spicy chicken livers and chips were a nice release!!! We caught a matatu (shared minibus taxi) back home which meant visiting one of Kampala's two taxi parks for the ...
