Today was my 'day off' so I was keen to see some of Kampala. I had the morning at the guest house just reading and relaxing before Aggrey picked me up at around 12:30. We drove to the national mosqueRead more

We were in the car coming back from Parkrun when you texted from the Minaret steps... you can picture the scene, Granny and I were saying, ‘ just come back down, you don’t need to go the top!’, whilst Dad, Grandad, Caleb, Oggs and Zeph were saying the opposite.. (more along the lines of ‘Don’t be a wimp’ (Caleb), ‘You’ll regret it if you don’t get all the way to the top’ (Dad). Good thing the Lord came to the mosque with you, is all I can say!
Traveler Sounds an incredibly interesting day and quite an experience. Did you hear the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer in the mosque? I thought they traditionally did this from the top on the minaret, but I guess most of this is now a recording blasted out? We liked the pictures very much and well done you sharing your experiences in this informative way. Much love from us all including Lower Lodge Cottage.

After going to Watoto Downtown last night I didn't need to go this morning as it's the same service. So I decided to go to Judith's church which starts at around 11:30. So Judith said meet her atRead more
Traveler Another set of lovely pictures to illustrate your log. I admire your stamina for the church services but perhaps it is my Anglican background that would make this marathon very testing for me. What sort of distances were the children having to fetch and carry the water? Presumably they all lived in nearby villages? Enjoy the rest of your work experience and what a wonderful opportunity you are having. Love Gdad and Granny

This week I'm at the medical centre and the other village, Bbira. I spoke to the doctor and he said that I'd be doing the same kind of thing, so I was sat in the pharmacy for the day. The pharmacyRead more
Traveler It's great hearing about your days and we are so glad the team at Bbira are all so nice and helpful to you. It's interesting to hear that they like hearing about the UK and our medical schools! You are obviously keeping the children amused! The photos are super! So pleased you are enjoying your time so much. Much love GG
