Hello from Nalan

Hi there,

It’s been an amazing experience so far. I’m staying with the girls at Mama Mwanika’s house. She’s lovely. She made us some French fries last night and we played soccer with Martin and Ivan. Even the baby played a little :) I’m taking tons of photos and videos, so don’t worry you’ll get to see our lives here soon. Mornings are so peaceful at the village. Every day starts with a cool breeze which turns in to a hot summer day around lunch time. Since the rainy season has started, we get rain almost every afternoon. There is no electricity at the village therefore the nights are amazing here. I watched the stars last night with Becca and Vanya. They were so bright and spanned the entire night sky.

The city, Kampala, on the other hand is crazy. The population is very young. I think “Boda Bodas”, the taxi-motorbikes, fit really well to the city’s fast pace lifestyle.

I’m at the clinic, writing this now. We come here often to charge our phones and our computer. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

Today we finished the first layer plastering of the remaining three tanks and fixed the gutters at Nampija’s. Kevin and Becca went to Masaka, the nearby town, to buy groceries and to buy construction materials. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. We’ll start early to finish the second layer of plastering on all the tanks and get prepared for our exciting safari trip on Monday :)

Bye for now!
