Namudu in Uganda

This blog post is going to brief in comparison to everything that has happened since we have arrived!
We have been in Uganda now for 12 days, we spent our first night in Kampala and soon moved on to our project! Everything is so crazy and I don't even know how to explain in a way that can be understood! Taxis are like little mini buses that sit 14 but cram many more in - and for a 20 minute journey they only cost about 1000 shillings, which is like 25p. Because we are white they sometimes try and charge us more - but we're wise to it! Towns are dusty streets with huts on the side and sell absolutely everything.

There's so much to write about.
I'm having an absolutely incredible time! Brother John, our hosts is hilarious! And despite being in a highly catholic community, which I had initially thought may be very strict, me and Clara are very free to act and do as we please. We have made many friends as everyone wants to know the muzungus!

We have eaten white ants, which we caught and fried ourselves under the insistence of our friends!
On our first night there was a huge thunder storm!
We also had our first go at hand washing our clothes... (very unsuccesful)
We've picked sugar cane and popo and ate at a restaurant with the vice president of Uganda. (he was there, he didn't acknowledge us) hahaha

ooooooooooh none of this blog post is going to have any structure because there's too much to cram in as I watch my internet time ticking down!

Everybody thanks us greatly for coming, the children are very excited to have muzungu in their school and are eager to learn! I think that lessons are going to be a lot harder to plan that I thought because actually the school that we're in is very advanced - I'm going to be teaching P5&6 English and P5 Maths (Don't ask me how that happened). While Clara is going to be teaching P4 English, P5 Art and some P.E! We begin on Monday and are very excited!

We have also been given our Buganda names! I am Namudu of the Enchima Clan! (Monkey), while Clara is Nabosa of the Sheep Clan! Everywhere we go the children sceam Muzungu and I think that by the end of the year the only names I will respond to are Namudu and Muzungu! 

I'm missing everyone and hope that everything is going well! I will try to plan out my next blog post a bit better but please know for now that I am having the most incredible expirience, I am very grateful to be here and even more grateful to those who helped me get here!

I wish I could share some of my photos with you! 
Next time!
