I just returned from almost 3 weeks in Uganda. We spent 16 days camping in the bush. It was a great time with these dear Ugandans. Along the way we had some surprises. January is normally part of the "dry season", but we had quite a bit of rain. It rained most nights and we had some heavy downpours during the day. Twice while taveling on the dirt roads we got stuck, once it took us and hour and a half to dig ourselves out. As a result of the unusal amounts of rain the progress on the new school has been slower than planned and so we are waiting to purchase desks and supplies. We visited the school site and the village and they are are very excited about having a school. I will keep you posted on progress. I think we will be done in about a month.
