Monday 23^rd November

Our time at Kagando is rapidly drawing to a close. It hardly seems possible that 7 weeks have gone so swiftly and in huge contrast to how we felt when we first arrived we shall be very sad to be leaving

We had. a leisurely Sunday with a 6 mile walk around the back of the hospital We now feel we are becoming very familiar with the local landscape. There are huge numbers of butterflies at present many of which are spectacularly colourful.

Another butterfly. They don't stay still for too long!

It was rather a muddy walk in places!

In the afternoon we invited a number of the junior doctors for tea but many of them were busy at the hospital so we only had one guest! The cakes were not wasted however and were eagerly devoured by staff at both the Kagando Farm and the local school!

Mastering skittles!

We did our last health promotion puppet play this afternoon with Betty again tragically falling victim to typhoid but eventually making a complete recovery. Always drink clean water was Sister Harriet’s strong message!

Betty is just about to drink some water straight from the river!

We are travelling on Wednesday to Mityana for a couple of days to have some further Esuubi meetings and a final look at the School and Café before heading off to Kampala on Friday. Our travel that day clashes with The Pope’s arrival in Uganda so it may prove an interesting journey!

Reflecting on our time at Kagando. No pairs of glasses lost and I have only sat on one pair!
