Kampala, Uganda
Hi Everyone!
I've been incredibly lazy with my blog but I thought it's about time to do one as it's almost been a month since the last one. This won't be a day by day blog as it's been too long so I'll do it week by week.
Week 1 - Monday 29th March - 4th April
For Monday and Tuesday of this week Molkie, Boz and I were hard at work paint…
Ben Hey Phoe, I'm great! Loving it over here! Yeah I'm here with Project Trust, an English organisation and there are like 16 of us spread around the country but I'm living with 2 other volunteers at my project. None of those beers ring a bell I'm afraid haha. The popular beers are Nile Special and Club, neither of which are that great.. And my school doesnt have many kids, although more students keep on coming. Atm my biggest class is 14 and the smallest is 5. Cheers for the message :) x Ben
re: Kampala, UgandaJessica This is really great, Ben! Thanks for the wonderful blog. Looking forward to reading more of them. Love, Your Aunt
re: Kampala, UgandaPhoebe Naughton hey ben. how are you? sounds like you're having plenty of fun in uganda. i didn't realise how different the language was from swahili (i learnt quite a bit when i was in tanzania in october/november). are you with a volunteering program? are you staying with locals or just with the other volunteers? and how many kids do you have in a class? and are you drinking konyagi? or do they have kilimanjaro or chewy or ndovu beer? kili is the best. anyway, hope you're enjoying yourself.. good luck! x phoe (anna's friend!)
re: Kampala, UgandaKate Hampshire Hi Ben, Great to read your blog! Top tip - get a new mozzie net, and one that is insecticide-impregnanted - in our experience, you're likely to still get malaria even taking anti-malarials unless you have a decent mosquito net and using mozzie reprellant in the evenings. Have fun!! Kate and Nigel
