First Day in Kampala

We had a busy day changing money and running errands today. We also visited the Sanyu Babies Home, an orphanage for newborns to age 4. The program is well run and can accommodate up to 50 little ones, but it is sad that so many youngsters have been abandoned. Some are left on the street for authorities or good Samaritans to find. The highlight of the day was a great performance of African dancing and song from different parts of Uganda with a terrific buffet dinner tonight at the Ndere Center. On the way to the dance performance, we experienced Kampala's rush hour traffic first hand, increasing our commute time by an additional hour!

Unfortunately, we haven't found it easy to get an internet connection. Therefore we may not be able to blog as often as we like. However, parents should rest easy. Everyone is fine. In case of emergency, you can call this mobile phone service to reach someone in the group: 011 256 784 047069
