In just over a week I'll be flying from Manchester to Entebbe airport, Uganda, with a quick stop in Amsterdam to visit a gap year friend. I am due to arrive on 23rd March, and will head out of Kampala to Kiwoko Hospital the next day.
My room here in Edinburgh is currently strewn with clothes, textbooks and medical equipment (including 50 catheters, 100 infant nasogastric feeding tubes, several boxes of sterile gloves, scalpel blades and sutures and one lonely chest drain). My task now is to somehow squeeze all this stuff into my rucksack...easier said than done.
I will hopefully be able to update this blog every once in a while, and will try and put some photos up once I've worked out how to use my fancy new camera. I am very excited about this trip - it will be so good to experience everything of Kiwoko and Uganda as a country that I've heard so many good things about.
That's my side of the bargain - yours is to keep in touch with me by email/facebook/Ugandan mobile - I have been given a sim card but not sure of the number yet, I should find out once I get there.
Looking forward to updating you once I get to Uganda!

About time you actually posted something on your blog! I hope your packing goes well, and that you have a safe journey.
ReplyDeletePlease greet everyone at Kiwoko from me - you'll get an opportunity to stand up in the daily devotional meeting and introduce yourself. I suggest using "muli mutya" as any Luganda would go down well (means "How are you?" (plural)).
God bless, and have an amazing trip!

Well thought I had to after the stick you gave me!
ReplyDeleteI will certainly say a big hello from you to all at Kiwoko, and will try and remember muli mutya! (I've just about remembered oli otya).
I see you found that you're currently starring in my own latest blog entry!!! Well it was interesting to reflect on what it was like the first time I was at Kiwoko thirteen and a half years ago. I'll stop now because its making me feel very old!

That's an interesting array of medical equipement. Is it something the Uni has asked you to take or somthing the Kiwoko Hospital asked you to bring?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to updates...
