After precarious journeys through snowy England and Ireland, and various delayed flights.... we were both very relieved to arrive in a balmy Entebbe airport late on Saturday (2nd) night. The New Year got off to a bumpy start with an unplanned stop over in Lugazi on the way to Jinja. Earlier rains and a power shortage made it too dangerous to drive through Bugembe at night. When we finally arrived at the SALVE house, we were greeted by Robina, Caren, Blessing and Helena. After catching up on some sleep, we spent some time getting to know them all, playing some Ludo and orientating ourselves in Bugembe.
The next few days were a light introduction to SALVE and Jinja. As the house is fairly quiet at the moment with the boys away at 'Teen Missions' and many of the girls at home visiting family, we decided to make use of some free time with a research trip to Kampala. We met many interesting people and visited lots of different projects which have given us a lot of inspiration about how to move SALVE forward.
We are hoping that next week will be very exciting, with the UK team coming to visit and more of the children returning from their holidays! Once the registration comes through, we are also looking forward to re-starting street clinics.
