Today marked a week since starting at the hospice. Most days I've been going out on home visits but today was Day Care: patients come to the hospice for their appointments and then have food / activities afterwards (at least there are activities in theory but actually because it takes so long for patients to be seen in the clinic it's difficult ...

We spent 2 nights in Nairobi upon returning from our Safari. We had reserved a basic room for our return, however, none were available. We got upgraded to a deluxe tent for both nights, complete with modern bathroom. It was very comfortable. We needed to arrange bus tickets to Kampala, Uganda so we walked 2-3km to downtown Nairobi where the bus ...

While I spent another lazy morning at home nursing my knee, Matt went to Chris' 4x4 Service Centre to finish working on Foxy. After doing several loads of laundry over the past few days, we now have a suitcase full of fresh clothes, bed sheets, pillow cases and duvet cover. I'm in love with the smell of clean laundry! We then went to the Garden ...

Kampala was crazy. We camped at the backpackers hostel, there were baboons living in the trees above our tents. We had to go and buy the food we were going to be cooking for the next week, not a fun job! All 3 groups walked through the streets of Kampala. We stood out like crazy and attracted quite a bit of attention from the locals.

Here are some pictures. I'm REALLY sorry for not having time to put up detailed entries. I will try as soon as possible. I have decided to stick around Uganda for another year, so I should be able to find some time to write a decent entry eventually. Hope all is well.

Well we left Bunyonyi on the 29th at 9am with a long drive ahead of us...so we drove most of the day with a brief stop off for lunch at the equater. Where we had a demonstration of how the water goes anti-clockwise in one hemisphere...clockwise in the other...and straight down in the middle...quite cool if you ask me. Also my camera i left with ...

I was rudely awoken on Friday morning by the radio, but was appeased by Chris making me fried eggs and fried bread. Healthy! Unfortunately, though, Karen (stupidly) turned h** phone on, and got a text saying we should be at school- we think (now) that it was intended for the teach**s, but at the time half the house was planning to ignore it, whi...

Here's another week- I'll try to keep it as short as possible! On Friday, Stephen was driving us to the British High Commision so we could register as British citizens and let them know we're in the country (what with the elections coming up and all, it could all go a bit crazy). So we walked to school to get a lift, and then drove into town... ...

Work week was slow so I took advantage of looking into other projects. One is working with Airline Ambassadors to bring humanitarian aid to Uganda. As many of you know, I went to El Salvador with this group in January and for all of you who gave me your used cell phones, it was for this great group. (www.airlineamb.org). I am going to go to Jinj...

After dropping my things off at my apartment, I headed into work. The offices are located in a two story building close to various non-governmental organizations. To get to other parts of the building you must walk out side. Jane Francis is the receptionist and appears to be the important one to know. The IT department set up my laptop and I now...
