UGANDA!

I arrived safely...we are having an intense time that is for sure! There are so many new things to see and learn. It was quite overwhelming at first. All our team (6 of us) are doing well, we are adjusting to the Afrcain way of life.

We have done antenatal clinics in a rural area and worked in a clinic about an hours drive away. Yesterday i worked in the pharmacy and it was good to familarise myself with local diseases and drugs. Tomorrow we are going to the clinic and working with disabled children. Saturday is free, we may go to town though transport is so crazy and all the town is looking at you when we walk around and trying to sell their produce at the double price so it's not the nicest experience! Sunday we are participating in a service then invited for lunch in the local village. We are now staying at Hopeland, a YWAM base.
It's really a gorgeous country; very lush and fertile. Poverty is evident it is true. We saw some pretty incredible things already... I am glad we have come to help and no just as tourists!
Food has been very good until know: it's tasty. Plaitain bananas, avocados, maize stiff porridge, mangos, pineapples some rice...we probably wont have that much luxury on the islands...
So we are starting slowly and then going more rural. It seems like we have been here for ages already.
