Uganda - Village of Hope

Team 27 sat around the lunch table today and without a doubt our highlight for this trip was the time we spent yesterday at the village.  We all split up and were allocated a house mumma who we sat with and were taught how to make chapatis, this was a real experience as we learnt how women in Africa provide meals for their families, even the chickens enjoyed sticking their beaks in the chapati bowl much to our alarm considering we would be sharing this meal with the family later in the day.

We all remained at different houses to enjoy a meal with the house mummas and her children and what an amazing time we had. We participated in eating a meal (albeit wih our fingers.)  After the meal was a time of prayer, praise and reading the bible all lead by the children.  Lots of questions were asked by the children of some of us and it was so wonderful to share with them and see the enthusiasm and delight in their eyes.

Today we went to YSU (youth support Uganda) to help do some maintenance jobs around the garden and some painting. 

We finished the afternoon with some shopping and eating in Jinja.
