The Big Smoke aka Kampala…
The last few days has seen me leaving the quietness of Mbale and heading for Kampala for various Oasis meetings. These have had my head spinning as we’ve been looking at where we are going over the next three years. Major decisions are having to be made that could bring lots of changes to the [...]

Lots of baby animals…
So not quite sure how 10 days have gone by since I last scribbed down my thoughts but they somehow have. The rest of my week after holiday club was a bit of a daze as I was quite sleepy but somehow managed to stay awake through working hours. Monday brought excitement as Tiff, my [...]

Holiday Clubs and Baby Goats…
I survived Kids Club holiday programme! I could almost say I enojed it as well although all the adults have been left exhausted and in need of a couple of weeks off. We started yesterday and were planning on 70 children. At 88 we closed the gates and had to refuse entry to about another [...]

Beersheba Babies…
Tuesday began as a normal day and I went off to work knowing that with Maggie away I was on my own in charge rather than sharing the responsibility. My department was leading morning devotions which Peter was leading that day. Everything was fine as we discussed worship and then everyone went off to start [...]

Bombs and Buildings…
Well it’s been an interesting week here in Uganda in light of last week’s terrorist bombings in Kampala. Lots of people are scared and then 3 more bombs were discovered in the following days which didn’t help the tension. Even in Mbale we had panic when someone dropped a bag in town and then started [...]
