Picture time...at the PC Office

So...since I like to bake sweets, that is one things I'm "teaching" my woman's group. And now I'd like to share some pictures from the last two Tuesdays of treats.
Before the started their bi-monthly meeting, I had them prepare cake mixes to bake while they discussed their important issues and what not. Their patience paid off with a nice slice of cake...yummmm.
So after our sweet treat, they were happy were feeling a photo moment was needed. Here I am with Bridget, Mada, and two of the other lovely ladies...(still learning all their names)
A monkey. I've been back to see the monkeys twice last week, first with the new interns and then when Sarah came for another great visit. I am always glad when she comes to see me and talk.
Okay. So this past Tuesday, we made a Uganda donut called amandazi. The women experimented with the recipe a bit putting milk in one and water in the other.
Rolling the dough is the chairwoman of this women's group.
Everybody take a big bit. Hehe
Karen and Regina enjoying amandazi on Maama Gertrude's verandah.
Have to run now, but will have more for you later.
Until Next Time...

Still here

Howdy people.
I will be getting you some more pictures in about 5 days, so hang on just a little bit longer. Things are going okay here in Uganda. We have been without power for the last 3 plus weeks and it has not rained good for about that same time, so our tanks are empty. Getting pretty good at fetching water from the borehole. My goal is to make it all the way home without stopping, but I've only made it almost once. It's gone down hill from there. My arms get tired and my fingers go numb...
Ummm, what else. My organization has four interns from the NCSU for the next couple months. I'm realizing I'm a very silly person and have some work to do.
I'm getting some projects started at a couple schools, so we'll see how they go. Vermiculture and keyhole gardens.

Finally thought for the day...yep you are getting a thought from me, weird I know. But I'll give you something to mull over...
You will find the same types of people everywhere you go.

Until Next Time...
