Day
7
We have officially been in Uganda for 1
week!! Today started with the ladies up on the deck doing some early morning pilates
and only one of the men going for a run. (The men are getting weak IMO ;)).
After another lovely brekky of rolex’s and banana and cinnamon chapattis, we
walked down to the Village of Hope and got to work on building a parking lot. On
the way we got to meet the local ‘Mr Whippy’ selling ice cream from the cooler
on his bike. Our work consisted of hacking at the ground with a couple of hoes
and pulling up pumpkin plants and shrubs. We then went home for pancakes, and
“like a good boomerang” we made our way back up to the village. However,
Nathan, Ben and Amy. G went down to the school to assist with teaching some of
the classes – English, P.E and knitting!! Meanwhile the rest of us raked and hoe’d
the remainder of the grass and rocks, wheel-barrowed it off to a large pit out
the back, and started laying down bricks for a wall around the side of the
parking lot. All in all, it was a fairly productive day. After dinner (which
was a vegetarian frittata – thanks Juliet!) we headed down to the Bugembe
markets to get some ice cream and re-stock the sodas. Over all a good workout
of a day, and we go to bed expecting to wake up with six-pack abs and some
bulging biceps. J Amy S.
