Boom daddy!

Hey everyone! So far in Kabale we have:
- have been guided by our personal guru/hero/prophet/idol/champ (depends who you ask)
- visited a health clinic, AIDS clinic, Community Hospital, and Government Hospital
- went to 2 community outreach meetings; 1 for HIV education and testing and 1 specifically for 200+ people who are HIV positive
- got a sneak peak into an indigenous lake culture
- Colin and JD have excelled at African dancing and performed for various African audiences
- JD and Colin, with Nicole’s financial support, won an auction at a Rotary banquet and won a plaque which reads, “Of the things we say think or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendship? Is it beneficial to all concerned?”
- Nicole fell in a sewer
- visited the subcounty parliament of Bukinda
- went to church
- stayed in cottages on a private island
- met the most amazing man in the world named William (our cook)
- mastered blackjack
- watched a bunch of groups perform African dances
- Megan has perfected her strategy for attracting swarms of children
- adapted duck, duck, goose to Ugandan terms (chicken, chicken, goat)
- played lots of games ranging from cat’s cradle to coloring with Isaac Newton and Joe Joe
- have discovered all of JD’s identities (6 and counting . . .)
- celebrated Erika’s 22nd birthday with the whole Anguyo family
- hiked up a mountain in inappropriate/slippery shoes
- all while simultaneously working on documents to evaluate Kihefo and planning a nutrition rehabilitation clinic

Next, we plan to:
- finish our documents
- community outreach meeting with HIV positive women
- making a presentation to the local Rotary
- spending 3 days reflecting on Lake Bunyoni
- go out on the town with Warren and Felix
- drinking local sorghum beer out of a calabash
- and venture back to Kampala to meet up with the rest of BAP!

For the most part, we have been working on a full evaluation of Kihefo’s activities and collecting all of the necessary documentation to help them in the future and to apply for grants for the nutrition center. Sorry we haven’t posted in awhile but we’ve had several power outages and we’ve been very busy!
