Last 2 weeks in Uganda

These  are a few of the children at the Ckhlamblywa Orphange supported by WOMF/ Feed His Lambs Ministry. The kids there were so kind and very funny, once they got over how old I was! They danced and sang in traditional uganda style for us. We were only there for a day, but it was great. we played cards, jumped rope, played checkers and ate great food...especially the chipati and matoke with peanut sauce... mmmm!

At the equater in uganda on the masaka- jinja hwy.. 5 minute after this picture, it rained nearly 3 inches in 10 minutes, the temperature dropped 10 degress ..and then the sun came out and it was 85 degress again!

We took a quad ride through the village jungle..( theNile river is in the background)  while  in Jinja, UG.  First we took a 'boat" ride on the Nile River and saw where this river first develops water way leaves Lake Victoria. On the Nile we witnessed class 4 whitewater rafting on the rapids of Bugali Falls(which in 6 months will no longer exist, due to a dam being built for much needed hydroelectricty(ugh!)...  witnessed large rafts with  expert Ugandan(black) raft  guides! Next we saw wild komoto dragons speedily crawl across our path on the road as we were walking...What a day.. more pictures to come....
