The beautiful and gentle kids at St Mary's primary school Buwenda. They live in an impoverished district, the school is a collection of 4 concrete floored & plaster rendered rooms. School fees are the equivalent of £15 per student per term - an unafordable sum for so many.

What to do on your last morning in Uganda - easy! Yesterday the team went to a downtown supermarket and loaded up on coca cola, Fanta, snacks, crisps, lolly pop's and goodies. This morning the kids had an end of term picnic they will never forget, a gentle happy day.

Hello to all family, friends and followers. All looking forward to seeing you on Friday but a bit daunted by the long flight ahead of us. Last night our thoughts turned to the physical toll Uganda has taken on our weather beaten faces and mountain worn feet - watch this space!

BBQ with a view, lovely evening and a spectacular sunset on the Nile.

Tree planting on the banks of the Nile, helping to prevent erosion. Seriously steep working on the river bank in steaming hot humidity.
