Monday 24th – Saturday 29th August 2009

This week we finished off with the building for a couple of weeks, having completed the slab on the first building.  The rest of the land needs a few things done to it that will take a couple of weeks.  We could keep going with the first building, but we would have to stop after a week to wait, so we are waiting two weeks and then hopefully we will be able to build without breaks, which helps us keep good workers etc.

 We also had a stack of visitors this week.  Jan Best visited to drop off her friend, Lettie from Botswana.  It was so good to catch up with her and meet her friend.  Lettie is a great girl also, she is staying for around 3 months to help out and to see how we do things at Akanyijuka.

We also had a group of four Aussies visit.  Stewart, Briony, Karen and Brooke have been in Uganda for various times, but have been living together in Mbale for some time and had been planning to visit at some stage and this was the week it happened.  They were great company, made us feel a little older as they were all quite younger – but Jan helped us feel not too old!!! Sorry Jan.  They are looking like they are going to be doing great things in Eastern Uganda.  To check out what they are up to, check out Briony’s Blog – http://brimmyos.blogspot.com

I can’t remember which day it was, but we also went to the lake one day:
