Greetings in Uganda
The plane trip was uneventful and went
very well. One of the
AIDSpirit tubs did not arrive so we had
a long wait to sort that out and as good fortune would have it the
customs people left and we sailed right through customs without even
having to show papers etc. What a blessing!
Outside, there was Rogers to greet us!
A huge surprise. Angie's sponsored child, Steven, was also there
with of course, Charles of Tender Mercies. At last we settled into
the guest house just fine, slept well and were off to Kampala to
change money the next day and do some errands, like shop for printers
and meet with Draco Drilling to discuss upcoming water projects,etc.
Finally, we reached Jinja, to have dinner with sponsored Denis and
Geoffrey and Kenny's brother, John, his wife Beth and son Kiah. It
was dark and late but so so good to meet up with all. Approx 10:30
pm we arrived Kayunga and the hotel. The heat is intense and the
bugs abundant, as we try to sleep, tossing and scratching and
itching, wishing the fan would work and the pipes would stop
dripping...but alas this is Uganda. Rogers and Steven were exhausted
and taken to Tender Mercies to sleep with the other kids as they
happily anticipated the bright white faces of AIDSpirit with all
their love and smiles to appear the next day. Let the work
begin....
