Quick update

Heelloooo everyone

Quick update as it’s been a while and we’re on our way out again… We’ve been back from Uganda now a week and a half and fitted in quite a bit. The overnight bus ride back was pretty hairy, dusty and very bumpy being shoved down in the back seat, but we made it to Nairobi safely. All we could do was laugh!

We have visited the IDP camps a couple of times including a medical camp where mum did dozens of HIV and Malaria prick tests and farewell party for Jane (but we're not talking about that 'cause I miss her far too much - it hurts). We also spent an entire day visiting an Elephant orphanage (thanks Heath), Giraffe park and Nairobi National Park - absolutely brilliant day!! We have also spent some time at Fremo's Medical Clinic - I just love those guys. We will elaborate more and upload photos in a couple of days when we get back.

Last week I sent an email to friends and family asking for donations and recieved great support, thank you all so very much. On Wednesday mum and I will be completing our shopping expedition buying mainly clothes, shoes, mattresses, sanitary pads and lanterns. Sooooooo exciting!!

In about an hour mum and I will be making our way to Sikerei – a remote village in the Maasai. We will take a 30 minute Matatu to a town called Ngong, then jump on a piki piki (motor bike like the one in the video) for a further 40 min on a rough dirt road through extraordinary countryside. I can't wait to see mum's reaction, I know she is going simply fall in love with it!

Must shoot, will write again soon.
