So we have arrived……
After about 30 hours of travelling and waiting, we have made it to BULA children’s home in Kampala ! The Mutato (a taxi, kindalike a mini-bus only much more dangerous) ride from the airport was about an hour long. Myself and Amy spent most of it in silence taking in the surroundings. Each roadside was occupied by stalls selling everything you could imagine, We drove alongside the amazing lake Victoria, surprisingly its very green, a kinda home from home (except the fact the sun is shining)
Before we reached the home, we passed a small stall selling (I think) burgers (or something like that), painted messily on the bottom said “ Strive for the best” and I guess that’s what the people do, they utilize the resources available to create a stable life, same as we do in Ireland.
The taxi man had a curtain tie hanging from the front mirror, you know the fancy kind you would find in your good sitting room! Sure who are I to judge , they would probably laugh at us hanging smelly cards from ours!
Last night the kids (who are class!) put on a kind of concert for us, singing and dancing. It was like nothing we had experienced! Food is good (seriously) and the people have made us feel so welcome!
Anyhu must head the kids are due home from school…..x
