... after his family's death when he was hospitalized and unable to even speak or respond to anyone for more than a week. I invite him to eat dinner with me and then I walk with him into town so he can catch a Matatu back to Kampala (and I can work off some of the buffet dinner). I am sure this is just one vignette out of what are undoubtedly many thousands of heartbreaking stories you can here anywhere in Africa, and it ...

... equations. We arrived in time for lunch, which was wonderful. Usually they get matooke (mashed green food banana) or posho (ughali) and beans, but now they had Irish potatoes (called so to distinguish them from the sweet potatoes, but are the ordinary potatoes we also eat), beef, chicken and even salad. And you could clearly see the happy faces of the teachers as they munched away and the proud faces of the cooks!<br><br>I had a special treat as well: Mary, a ...

We have a day in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. With two girls from the group we took the local minibus transport (very brave, it's quite chaotic and difficult to figure out, but the locals helped us) and went to Entebbe, on the shores of Lake Victoria. Swimming in the lake was fun, the eater was quite warm.

... with fruit, who would walk up to another chimpanzee who caught a potato, or a pineapple, and just the appearance of this chimpanzee would cause them to drop their treasured piece of fruit and move on. Many would walk with their arms and feet full of snacks, it's certainly a sight to see a chimp walk with carrots sticking out of their toes! Later that evening, we observed Sophie while she did an infant integration. (Sophie works for JGI Canada, and has come to Uganda to evaluate many ...

... we are more or less caught up with local time now. THE $$ IS STILL A BIT tricky as it is in thousands so i am hesitating at being asked for a 1000 shillings which is only 50 cents, just have to adjust the mind. we have been to hezzy,s,s school. What an amazing facility for the students. Its more like a university campus. These students are fortunate indeed. And to my teaching buddies each classroom has a white board,Did you read that Tony? Now to my Bowser buddies, having travelled ...

... green plantains and bananas. We also continued to be amazed at the sight of women balancing several things high on their heads with ease. We even saw them balancing shovels on top of the cloth wrapped loads on their heads while carrying a baby on their back. Wow! Exhausted and with sore butts we finally made it to Bwindi. Our accommodations at the Buhoma Community Camp, that were set up by the Safari company were perfect! We stayed in the &#8220;luxury ...

We made it through the rafting on the 5+ rapids on the White Nile. It was one of the most intense experiences that I have ever seen. The 5+ rapids were so hard and got thrown out of the boat and get carried out by the current. Robin loved it but I was scared the entire time. We all got back and were burnt despite about 7 applications of 40+ sunscreen. When we got back to the place that we were staying Robin ...

I tried to get in touch with Rogers the director of the UVDA today but his phone was dead. In the end I got through to his assistant called Joseph and went off to meet him at the offices. When I turned up he absolutely stunk of booze which was a bit alarming but he told me that Becky Booth the other international volunteer was staying at a hotel in town where we should go so it all seemed ok. Tom the ...
