We woke up early in the morning after a good night´s sleep in order to fend off the jet lag. After a wonderful breakfast consisting of eggs and Ugandan bananas (much better than US bananas) at Daphne´s home. In the late morning, we left Daphne´s home and met up with Lynette and Irene, the civil engineering students from Makerere University and met Dr. Musaazi. Dr. Musaazi showed us his ISSB. The technology is very interesting, simple, and innovative. Unfortunately, is is probably not right for our project, due to the high cost of the press to make the bricks.
The group of us then left for Ddegeya, stopping for petrol and lunch. Ugandan food is delicious! We arrived at Engeye Clinic. It was great to meet John, someone who we had all heard so much about. After we dropped our stuff into the clinic bunk rooms, we went to Masaka. at Masaka we picked up food for the clinic.
Then, after meeting many of the children of the village who were around the clinic, we got down to planning. We went over both the broad planning of each week of the month, then discussed what needs to get done tomorrow. Tomorrow, we plan on splitting into groups. One group will go buy materials in Masaka and the other will start digging the holes for the hybrid tank prototypes.
