Winding down

So as the temperature's rising here in Uganda, our time is coming to an end. We said goodbye to some of the older children last week as they headed off, with bags packed and smiling faces to Teen Missions, the holiday activity camp where they will be spending Christmas. Teddy and Dinah have gone home to visit their families so we have four boys, Junior, Isma, Asuman and Junior left in the S.A.L.V.E. so we've been spending a lot of time with them, and let them loose with the arts and crafts box which as you can see has been a lot of fun! It's so hot here at the moment, so tomorrow we're going to take the boys swimming...




We've also interacted with some of the children who are still on the street. Another organisation in Jinja is taking many of them up to Bujagali, a lovely village on the Nile, for Christmas day so they are excited about this.

The women in Mafubira are making good progress in the bead project and another shipment of beautiful jewelry should be ready to send soon. As they are becoming more confident, their creativity seems to be flourishing.

We're all looking forward to the Christmas celebrations. Mike's wife Robinah is going to give birth any day now, so we're really looking forward to welcoming a new face into the family. Exciting times.

We'll be back next week with our final post from sunny Uganda.

Bye for now,

Imogen and Emma x
