Do you like hoof?

Monday February 6^th

Today we ventured into Kampala for the first time which was an interesting experience.

                           Traffic congestion in particular Taxis is a major problem in Kampala

Akim from Mityana met us and showed us around. We were taken to see some of the notable sites in the city centre but also to the main market which is a labyrinth of tiny alleyways where almost everything you can think of is available to purchase. Outside one of the butchers shops was a row of cow hoofs hanging up. “Do you like hoof?” Akim asked as evidently it makes a tasty soup!

                                                 They have big pigeons in Kampala!

This evening we met up with Dr Peter Hill who flew in overnight. He has taken on the role of medical coordinator for the work in Gulu to develop the chain of health centres to serve some of the poorest and remote communities in the district. He is aiming to be in Uganda for the next 10 weeks or so.
