Kampala (July 18)

Jambo! It has been a busy week here in Iganga. Last weekend I went with a few friends to Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, which was a lot of fun. It was nice to get away for a bit and go to a bigger city. We stayed at some nice hostels and visited a really beautiful cathedral. We also took advantage of the slightly more American aspects of the city, such as the mall and the movie theater.

Back in Iganga, I have been doing a lot of painting with some friends. We painted a nursery school in the area, including repainting the swings, merry go round, and benches, and painting a beautiful mural as well. We will be painting a mural at another school next week.

Besides that, I've been making magazine necklaces at the orphanage and teaching. We are going to the village again tomorrow to see the dancers and musicians, so that should be fun. Enjoy the pictures, I'll send more soon!
