Food in Uganda

OK so as I sit on the computer e-mailing etc I am currently enjoying a cup of freshly ground coffee and a warm homemade peanut butter cookie. These cookies are absolutely amazing and given that I am enjoying them so much I feel it necessary to recod how good they actually are and inform you...

A summary of week 3

Wow, this week has probably been my favourite week here so far! Last week we chilled out a lot more and only indulged in alcohol on a couple of nights in comparison to the pretty much every night previously! I've continued with attending the orphangae, which I love. It still amazes me that...

A summary of week 2

So I've started my third week at the orphanage today and cannot believe how quickly the time is going! Last week was such a blast though... I spend every morning at the orphanage and very little changes. I look after the children, although tend to look after the same children...in fact if I...

A summary of week 1

Ok, So so much has happened since last time I blogged. I've been spending a lot more time at the orphanage and discovered after leaving last Wednesday with both baby sick and wee on me looking after the babies are the way forward. They all wear nappies, require very little entertainment thus...

First day volunteering

Today we started at the orphanage. So having got up and eaten breakfast, which consisted of chippati (Tom no doubt you will comment that I've spelt that completely wring!) and pineapple, we headed to the orphanage for our first day. When we went through the gates we werren't too sure what to...

Dull day...

This entry will probably be one of the smallest entry of the blog...although I be fair I have no doubt that I won't be blogging every day...it's just the whole novelty of it all, plus as money gets tight I won't be able to afford it! So I have no doubt many of you will be quite chuffed at that...

My first day "roughing" it?!

Today was a good day! We woke up and met the rest of the house. There's ten of us in total...7 girls and 3 blokes, but most of them are leaving in a couple of weeks just leaving me and Dylan until the next group come a week or so later. Having met everyone we all decided to hit the nearby...

Finally made it...with a few accidents on the way!

So after a hell of a long journey and panicing when I reached Dubai that I wouldn't make my connecting flight, I finally made it to Entebbe, Uganda. However my patience and emotions were to be tried quicker than I anticipated! Having obtained my visa, completed the medical card and done all...

Melanie's Uganda Pictures

I wanted to simply post pictures but they didn’t seem right to me without a little commentary too—composed on jetlag after 22+ hours of flying so...apologies in advance and feel very free to ignore the words and just skim the pictures : ) This is Richard, the community outreach worker with...
