Tubes for Breakfast

The reality of working in Uganda is that just when I'm confident it's all going brilliantly, I write a blog, save it, & the WiFi crashes, & loses the blog.

So here are highly edited highlights... 

1. We ate a lot of food at the conference. The breakfast buffet was interesting. Yesterday I rejected offal with boiled matoke. Today I realised I've had potato (aka Irish her) 3 times a day every day.

2. The local Global Care managers are utterly brilliant. Yesterday they presented branch reports. So many life changing projects for children & young people.

3. I continue to be astounded by what can be achieved with so little funding but a shed load of compassion, love, hard work & persistence.

4. Global Care gets my vote for a trustworthy, effective charity. I never get tired of stories of lives changed by sponsorship. Children & families lifted out of poverty. Children I knew as tiny, hungry, desperate had access to education, food, healthcare, & welfare support.Now they're independent adults, some earning enough to support themselves And their families.

5. There will always be children trapped in poverty or unable to achieve academically. But they can read and write & apply for work. 

6. Can't do everything, mustn't do nothing, can do something.

7. Tyres will get nails but can be fixed! 

8. I love Soroti. So happy to be here. Can't wait for tomorrow. 

9. Steve has a weird way of team building. 

See you tomorrow for more adventures.
