another week passed...

this week has once again been very busy and i cant believe it has flown by again!! time is running away with me!!
last weekend we ran the childrens club for children who are are suffering with HIV or have parents that are! this is run in a very similar way to sunday school and around 100 kids come so its good fun. sunday is our only day off each week and this week we visited a church called deliverance church which was a crazy gospel church! it was amazing and definitely woke us all up!! after that we went and got lunch! i was soooo excited to each something other than rice potatoes and cabbage!! probably the best burger i have ever had!

monday we took out day off to go and see somewhere in Uganda. we chose to visit Jinja which is about 2 hours from kampala along some very windy roads! not sure my mum would have been impressed but somehow we got there and back in one piece! we took a boat ride on the nile to see the source and then out onto lake victoria. then spent the afternoon in the craft shops/

this week we have also planted plantain at the small farm COBAP have just outside kampala and visited their newly built pig farm. wednesday we spent the day learning how to make quilts by some of the ladies in the skills centre which was really fun. they create quilts and jumpers etc to sell to the community.

yesterday we visited a different organisation call Rahab which supports and offers shelter to girls under 18 exploited by the sex trade. it is an amazing place where they can come and learn skill and english as well as get food, wash and spend the night. it has been really successful and is helping so many young girls so it was amazing to join in a lesson with them.

today we did some home visits around the different districts of the slums taking with us small gifts of food. everyone we visited today was ill and so it was nice to surprise them and spend some time just chatting and finding out about them. i think this is the most rewarding thing we have been doing.

tomorrow its back to kids club and then next week is the start of my final week! time is flying by so really looking forward to making the most of my final time here before i have to leave!
