Sunday October 23^rd

A day off!

Today we have had our first real day off since we both arrived here which has given us time to reflect on our time here so far.

Bosco on a road just outside Mityana – we are not entirely sorry not to be transported on the back of his motorbike anymore!

Simon outside “God’s Mercy Electrician” in Mityana town!

There have been good times and more difficult ones and, just as in UK, the more difficult ones occur when people have relationship difficulties that are hard to resolve! 

Today after breakfast we enjoyed a walk to a posh lodge, which is about 8km away. Remarkably we only got lost once and local people were very keen to help us out and point us in the right direction. 

Two boys who were on their way back from digging We met them on the way today.

The views there were stunning overlooking a crater lake and some African tea was very welcome when we arrived.

Rob Sadler has now arrived from Gulu where he has already run several Prime courses and so there will be some planning for tomorrow’s PRIME course with clinical officers in training here in Fort Portal. The course will run over the next 2 days.
