Uganda team 19 begins!!

TEAM 19 HITS UGANDA!

After an epic plane trip, we arrived safely at Suubi house after a VERY long and bumpy bus ride from Entebbe after our flight from Dubai. We were very exhausted and crashed into bed straight after about 30 hours of travel and a quick dinner, (beans rice and irish potatoes - yum!)!  This would be the quietest night at Suubi house for the next 3 weeks!!!


A late and slow start to the day was the plan with a luxury 9am breakfast of fresh fruit and rolex (egg and veggie omelette rolled up in chapatti). After morning devotions at Village of Hope, we spent some time playing with the children and meeting the mothers. The boys got into quite a serious soccer match with the children where the kids skill showed them up. We  went back to Suubi house for a lunch of fresh bread rolls and salad, then piled 18 of us into a 12 seater van to explore the town of Jinja. In Jinja we had the opportunity to get some money out, check out some local markets and sample one of Andrew’s favourite cafés. After another squishy ride in a different 12 seater bus (ours broke down!), we returned to have some quiet time before a dinner of good old spaghetti.

Check out a couple of photos of our day below...
