HELLO ALL, this is going to be a bit incomprehensible…but hey-to-the-ho. I really love it here. Like…reallllly love it. The people, the culture, the continuous need to sing and dance!

Jaz and I went to church on Sunday, and it was such a brilliant cliché of an African church, everyone shouting "HALLELUJAH" and dinging and dancing, so different compared to the British churches. SIMPLY BRILLIANT. Them in the evening we went to a Ugandan Culture show, BLATANTLY for tourists, just like myself but BRILLINAT, at one point they sung and danced with 9 small pots on their heads!

On the Saturday, we spent a 3 hour boat ride on Lake Victoria, simply beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful, and really cool because we got to go on some really random island too!

We have had to drum lessons so far (not 'derum' lesson like I said before), and we all really like it, me and Jaz have been asked to help drum at the church Sunday school next week…SO COOL na d as Jaz pointed out, it's just brilliantly because "we're having a REAL African drum lesson….IN Africa", haha.

This weekend we should hopeful going to a place called Murchison Falls, to do a mini safari, which I literally can't wait for!!!!! Been reading all about it and it was something we REALLY didn't think we'd be able to do.

2 more volunteers joined us on Monday, both really cool, making our group a quaint number of 6 now…a lot smaller than we thought there would be, but it works really nicely. There is Me, Jaz, Jane, Becca, Jade and Verity and it's just ALLLL GOOOOD J

The only other real culture-y thing we've done is made some bracelets with a Ugandan woman…still…VERY COOL.

We went to an orphanage today and had to improvise a talk on AIDS…It was really hard! Also, it was probably the saddest things we've seen so far. Visiting some of the homes has been really upsetiing too….I know it's such a clichéd thing to say but you REALLY don't realize how luck you are until you've visited somewhere like this…The other day, we visited a family where the girl had been using a stick as a toothbrush…really son, we gave her a toothbrush, a cardigan and a pair of shoes and she literally couldn't thank us enough…it's crazy, the reaction a toothbrush or a bar of soap will get but it's an expression that will NEVER grow old.

It's just brilliant here.

P.S Sorry, for the moment photos are being really awkward, will try again next week, but promise to get them up soon. Mum will be pleased to learn that FOR ONCE it's not like "Where's Wally", and I have ACTUALLY got photos, other than ones of myself, haha.

TAKE CARE J
