Arrival!!!
admin on 10 Mar 2008 | Uganda 2008
We’ve arrived! Well, actually we’ve been here for quite a while, but this is the first chance I’ve had to land Internet access. I’m posting from the Source cafe in downtown Jinja, and I’m happy to say that all is well! Our trip here was pretty rough. A nine hour layover in London (inside the airport) left everyone wiped out, then a delay out of London and an eight hour flight really nailed us. The first night in Uganda, we thought we made a huge mistake. The younger kids were scared, and complained of stomach aches, but after mixing up the sleeping arrangements, and a “normal” restroom break, we all slept in… until noon!!! Now, everyone is well, and we’re settling in to get to work. I acquired power regulators, power strips, keyboards and mice for the computer classroom, and paid for the windows in the classroom, all from the funds we raised from book sales and donations from Shmoocon. We’ll post more when we can, but thanks for tuning in for this brief update.
