Its been a challenge blogging from East Africa where I spent over 2 weeks. The Cyber Cafes offer outdated computers with keyboards and mouse are old, sticky and grungy and the internet slow to respond.
I have a memory stick where I was able to keep up with offline blogging at afriend’s house in Uganda. So I am now ready to post the saved blogs from Capetown in South Africa.
Hope you enjoy these!
HIV and AIDS is the most serious issue facing Africa today. You cannot escape its impact at every level and almost always comes up in conversations. In Kenya, there is one woman who is laying down the vision and model for attacking this disease. We had the pleasure and honour of meeting, Jane Wathome the founder of Beacon of Hope.
Wesley our guide for the day takes us to several malls and we shopped till we dropped! Back at the hotel, Kathleen kills 2 cockroaches in the hotel room.
Back to Kenya! Check into the Meridian… quite a let down from where we have stayed so far. Its only for 3 nights and we will manage.
What does it feel like going back in time to your favourite school?
Bharat drove me to my old School, East Kololo Primary School.
I remembered most of the classes I actually spent time in. My last class was Primary seven before I left for England. The buildings are in extremely poor condition needing much repair and work. It used to be one of the best schools..that is no more!
It is my last night in Kampala, and my brother has invited us for dinner at his house. Its been intense but I feel really good about my trip to Uganda. A much needed closure.
