Visiting the farm

6:30am the alarm goes of and it's time to move again. Today Mandela is going to take us to the farm we purchased on behalf of the donors of the 24hr event that Pete Cohen put on in Club house and raised £10,000 for. Has a charity we were asked to be ca custodial of the money and it soon became obvious that there needed to be a lot of due diligence.
After many hours and a lot of help from friends that I know used to live in Uganda we had helped Mandela and the charity God InAction was formed.
Here we are today making the hour journey from the children's home to the Farm. We all piled into the 4by4 again the three of us in the back Mandela, Nkosie and myself then Paula and our trusted driver Hamash

1hr later after driving through some beautiful countryside we arrive at the farm. Has we step out the car some local people came around to chat to Mandela, but I think mainly to look a me. What is very obvious is that I am have been the only white person around for the last few days. The children pull on the hair on my arms....lol

With the sun shinning it's time to do a little filmimg and take loads of photos for back home for everyone that supported Mandela to reach his vision. Mandela voice is so quite I realised I had left my mic in the car. I asked one of the lads if they would mind getting it for me. He sprints of like an Olympic run and returns with my while back pack.
The land is very rich and fertile. It have mango and Jack fruit trees in it which will be great in the future to be able to have fruit for the children.

Mandela is very keen to walk me to the far end of the boundary. The whole farm has been fence in which various people donated for. We start to walk slow back and Mandela says rain is coming. With one could in the sky I hardly think so...lol
With an enormous clap of thunder and a flash of lightning from no where the heavens opened literally from the one cloud. Really..!
Everyone started running back to the car. I quickly grabbed my back pack and then took my coat out. Thank yo the Olympic runner.
The two I felt sorry for were the two that came on a motorbike boarder-boarder they got soaked.

The rich red road turned into a running river. Our beautiful white car ended up a rich red..lol. We left the rain cloud behind us.
We made our way back to the home for the children's. Which was bathing in in beautifully sun light.
Mandala said we can take the children to the playing fields to play football. We had brought some balls that morning.
With great excitement the children lead the way to the playing fields. Once there they split into two teams and Nkosie who is used to playing back home was one team captain.
1hr later Nkosie could be found under the tree 🌳 with his shirt of gasping for air, the children had run him racked.
With all the children tired after another great day it was time to go back to the hotel . But before we went we were asked if we wanted some fresh pineapple 🍍 when you visit a country one thing I always do is try the fruit of the country it taste so much nicer then the UK.Weiterlesen
