A calm week for the SALVE team in Uganda this week as new projects become firmly established and Isma settles into the home.

As we mentioned last week, the tourist education and bead making projects are fully up and running. Stephen is still attending the community education workshops in Mafubira 3 afternoons a week but the women are getting to a stage where they can manage themselves and next week will be discussing group responsibilites and voting for leaders. This is great as it means the project is moving more towards sustainability. They are also starting to finish necklaces which you can see above.

Isma seems to be settling in well. we have spent a fair amount of time at the house with him this week and he is becoming more confident and smiley. He's very helpful around the house and likes to play football in the yard when hes not busy with that. He's starting lessons with Assy this week to get him back into school mode. He and Junior get on like a house on fire too which is great- nice for them both to have some company of around their own age. They're both coming up to Bujagali Falls tomorrow morning for a swim and a look at the world famous rapids so let shope the sun stays out!
