New Arrival

Hello again! What an interesting few days…. First off, Nalan arrived yesterday! There were some issues with her American visa, but she was finally able to get an appointment at the embassy.  So she leaved us again today so she can hopefully get that resolved in Kampala tomorrow.  In the mean time, we have been very busy with work.  Today the first three tank bases were poured.  Gutters are also pretty much complete on 4 out of 5 of the houses.  It’s started raining fairly regularly every afternoon here. So although the tanks aren’t complete yet, the residents have been collecting water from the gutters in basins and buckets.  Exciting!

          In other news, everyone is back to 100% in terms of health.  There has been a large ebola outbreak to the west of Kampala, but we are happy to report we are far away from that region of Uganda.  Life here in Ddegeya has been very relaxing (minus all the work).  Every morning we wake up to fresh eggs, avocado and sweet bread (called doughnuts here).  And every night we play cards with our host family until bedtime (9pm).  We are hoping to take a safari soon while the ferrocement is curing to see some of Uganda’s famed wild life
