Moving out for seven months meant my bags were very full, so full that my hand luggage was almost too big to fit in the overhead locker on the plane, I really had to force it in.
The first two days here in Uganda were spent in a rural town called Kanganda; Mission Care will be working in this village hoping help the people there who are very poor and needy. I met some of the children here, their clothes are dirty, torn and shredded and most have no shoes. Lots of the children were smiling and laughing but they were malnourished, which means that they don’t eat enough and have a poor diet. They can’t afford to buy food like we can.
We were there to survey the land, measuring it before we can build on it. We had some very odd equipment that I didn’t know how to use, but Andrew, Mission Care’s architect, knew what to do and I helped him. While we were there it rained very heavily, and we had to run for shelter. Since they have little clean water in the village I took a picture of a rain collecting device one man had made. Very clever!
