| From Uganda 2012 |
The weather was a typical Uganda day in May - hot. Today, the sky was clear with no signs of rain. We have noticed that the further north we get, the days get hotter. This place was a one-and-a-half hour drive and the roads leading to Gweri were all smooth and we enjoyed the ride. We passed through some villages and all went well. We were greeted by parents who were cheering with excitement. We had the assistance of two policemen.
We had one child who was on crutches and one had to be rushed to hospital as an emergency and had malaria. The child came back on time to receive the bedkit.
The distribution went on smoothly and we had parents who volunteered to assist with the carrying of the bedkits to the childrens’ parents/guardians. They were all grateful and appreciated the gifts for their children. The children could be seen smiling and said "Thank you."
The distribution was very close and we had an opportunity to visit the city centre of Soroti. We enjoyed the smells and sounds of the local culture. We made some local purchases and fortunately and we got some red wine which was desperately needed.
Tonight, we are preparing to celebrate our successful distribution with the Inner Wheel ladies.
MESSAGE FOR MAURICE: Maurice, the Uganda Team wants you to know that the label system you designed for SCAW is wonderful!
