Its a sad day for me... all of the children are packing up their modest belongings to bring home.
All of the parents / guardians should be picking up their children today. It was lovely to meet up with the parents again and to meet new parents. As usual lots more mamas than dads. Each of the children got their photos taken with their family ...

On Thursday I went swimming at the edge of one of the rapids called 50/50 with four British medical students who I had met at Bujagali. The rapid got its name from the fact that you only have a 50/50 chance of staying up in it in a raft - luck governs! Even at the edge of the rapid the current is enormous and we had to work quite hard to get bac...

I travelled by matatu from Kampala to Jinja on Tuesday morning. The journey through eastern Uganda is beautiful - fields upon fields of tea plantations that are the most verdant green you could imagine.

A little boy came to sit next to me on the matatu to share my biscuits and ended up sleeping on my lap the whole journey. Matatus don't a...

A nice leisurely morning was what we needed and exactly what we got. After the mid-morning rain, we had a great lunch on the porch overlooking Lake Victoria. We then got ready and left for Jinja, but not before being delayed by this huge truck struggling uphill in deep mud. He had been digging the dirt road for over an hour and blocking anyone e...

While in Kenya, we took a 14 hr sojourn to Uganda. Unplanned, life-threatening, and swindling experience though it was - it ended up being one the of the most incredible experiences of my life.

I know I haven't really shared details about what I am doing in Kabula, but I will do that next time. As for now, I have too much to say about my weekend. I survived the rapids of the Nile River. This weekend a group of the student teachers - 7 of us - traveled to Uganda to experience the class 5 white water rafting that we heard was phenomenal....

Well we made it to Uganda and back with very little trouble. We left friday morning around 11:00am and got to the border around 12:30. Once we got there we were mobbed by people trying to sell us things and exchange our money. I bought a cool passport holder. We had fill out our exit forms and get our passport stamped. Then we walked about a mil...

We leave Bunyoni early and drive for close to 12 hours to get to Jinja, which is the source of the mighty Nile River. The journey is a fair seige as we have to get through Kampala again and head back towards the Kenyan border. However with the sides of the truck down we spend the time waving at the kids who shout at the truck. When we get to Jin...
