Back from the Bush

We arrived back at Namwianga yesterday after four days out in the bush. We left on Monday afternoon and traveled to Njabalombe, our home base for the next three nights. Our tents were ready and waiting, thanks to the Advance Team who had gone out earlier in the day. We did two days of clinics at Njabalombe and left early Thursday morning for Katungu where we quickly set up and conducted another one-day clinic. Late in the afternoon we packed up and headed home, stopping at Rod and Sue Calders for dinner.

Everyone at our house managed to stay healthy, and for that we are grateful. We were also very grateful for hot baths and showers last night!

Today is a Project Day at Namwianga. Our team members will work on campus here doing repair jobs, preparing for the next clinics, and having fun with the people who live and work here. This morning some of the Americans will be teaching classes at the secondary and college. In the afternoon we will have a reception for sponsors so that they can meet their sponsored students, followed by soccer and netball games.

Tomorrow we'll head out again for another round of clinics.
