Just a short post about some fun times.
Thursday was Cathal's birthday and a great excuse for a village visit. Cathal's placement of Nawanyago is the most easily accessible of all; only 45 minutes from Jinja. He also has the biggest house which is a ramshackle conversion of an old police headquarters, totally infested with bats and the occasional rat. After a day of teaching in our own villages, me Emily and Megan arrived after dark. We were met by the entire child population of Nawanyago, two local guys with guitars, the Ugandan volunteers from two placements, two British "Africa venture" friends, all the internationals, a lot of pasta and a wide eyed Cathal wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt and holding a spoon.

Glad to hear you're over your malaria :-)
