Wednesday 30^th January

Today has probably been our wettest ever in Uganda even though it is the dry season so there are climate changes occurring even here!

This morning we spent time at Ekiwulumo to see progress on the buildings there and to greet the teachers and house mothers. They were very happy that we had visited which was good and the building work is going on steadily with houses 6 and 7 almost complete and 8 and 9 needing only windows, doors and internal decoration. The children were especially pleased with some new teddies knitted by an elderly lady in Eastbourne. It was helpful that it was pouring with rain as the potential problems with soil erosion were very apparent and will need urgent attention to avoid problems to some of the buildings in the future.

The teddies were very much appreciated!

Soil erosion in full swing!

This afternoon we visited the Café. Work has been slow but steady with the roof still needing completion in one small area and the windows and doors in place. We very much want to see it complete and it will eventually be an amazing place for people to stop for cake and drinks.
