Blog number 5… On the weekend of the 29th of October, Naomi and I were visited by Molly, Justine, Sarah, Ashley, Blair, Gregg, Richard, Mikey, Isla and Roxanne (10 of the other Project Trust Volunteers). They all arrived on the Friday afternoon, just in time for the eagerly anticipated netball and football match against the only local government secondary school-Kitenga. All the students were really excited to meet the other volunteers and had been talking no...

Well this is only going to be a short little blog, mainly for the amusement of you blog readers. Last week I had a very traumatising experience...involving my hair. Yes, my hair.

So firstly we had to get to Kampala, we used our f...

To our surprise the headmaster from St Zoes was stood up playing the keyboard for all the hymns. The hymns were great and headed by one of the loc...

Nearly 3 weeks in Uganda!! Me and Naomi have now attended church-which was unfortunately similar to how i find church in england-except we couldn't understand a word that was being said-it lasted for an hour and a half-it was ridiculously hot and we we were sat on not the most comfortable of wooden benches!
