The give away!

This is a traditional Kinyankore ceremony where the girl's family gives her away to the family of the boy for marriage. We were given...and man, was she a beauty!!!! Trouble is .... many girls are brought and the groom has to pick the right lady...woe unto him that chooses wrongly! Interesting.........
With some of the guests.

The field

Yeah now I know what it means to be in the field....get up very early, have a busy day, sleep late. Incredible...haven't got time to meet some of my friends...they are either busy or am busy...oops. Is this what it all ought to be? Guess not!!!

Information work

I've been a while now in Uganda. Got a job....so am a hapi lady. This was a day off from the busy schedule... and uncle Sam took Faith and I away to the beach with the ladies who'll be in Trd this year! We talked alot about Norway, the experiences we got, and what they shd expect....guys this was a great time to reflect back esp. with the waves of L.Victoria laping at our feet! Information work is ok...just that people are more interested in telling what happened while I was away... still trying different ways to deliver what I learnt.

Introducing team FOCUS Uganda!

Same same but different...........this is the team that touched and is still touching many hearts in Uganda..Bravo people. Keep doing the good work.

In Uganda!!

On June 13^th we tearfully left Hald…the time together seemed very short!!!! N’how it didn’t feel like ten months. I found a convoy of hapi faces at Entebbe airport. Oh, I felt much loved when I found my family and friends waiting for me….and there after to a surprise dinner. I’ve now been in Uganda for two weeks...and it feels good to be back, meet friends, and well, interestingly notice things I almost never noticed b4! I eat matooke everyday!!!!uhhmm miss “the bread” tho’…here it’s different without pǻ legg esp brown cheese!! Started on information work….our home coming seminar was great, in Banana village… guys, this is one place in Uganda that you sh’d visit. I’m hapi 2 be back…have adjusted to the place…mad at kavera…it’s everywhere!!

Out in the sun
