Thursday 20^th October

Tuesday evening was spent in a medical meeting at Kagando. There is the ever present problem of increasing resistance to many of the available antibiotics so we were trying to agree some guidelines to most effectively use the antibiotics we had. It proved to be a very useful meeting with a good consensus about what we should be doing and also the universal acknowledgement that we urgently need to be doing more investigation of infections to get up to date information that is needed to make appropriate prescribing decisions

Yesterday was spent transferring to Mityana which took much of the day. It is very good to be back here in Mityana and to see everything that is happening at Ekiwulumo and the Café. Certainly the Café looks very smart at present and seems to be increasingly used by groups visiting. There was a group from Winchester Diocese who went there earlier in the week and there is a group of 14 young people from Wellington school who are going for brownies on Sunday.

There are jobs to be done around Ekiwulmo but this is always the case with such a large ongoing project. The teachers had a blitz on the library today and the children very much enjoyed sorting out some puzzles that had been mixed up.

The libaray looking very tidy after all the teacher's efforts

Many jigsaws needed sorting out

A few were even nearing completion!

This evening we went to “Smart Restaurant” in town where beans matoke and posho can be had for under a pound. One of the waitresses Reema remembered us from a year ago and remembered both our names!!
