Saturday

Saturday and Monday during the week are "rest" days.  This past Saturday we had the privilege of traveling with Wilson (the 'Founding Director' of EAC) to visit his family.  It was about a two hour drive from Kampala to get to his village.  On our way we stopped in a small shopping market to buy Wilson's mom and family some beans and rice.

Beans.

Here you can see bags of rice.  We also saw goats being taken in there to be slaughtered. Yum! 

Wilson's family were very thankful for the gifts.  We also were able to pass out some clothing and toys for the children.  It was good we had these gifts to give because most of the children had not seen a "muzungu" (white person)before and were very afraid of us.  We were told they thought we were coming to take them.  But after coloring in coloring books and playing cars with them they warmed up to us and we had a lot of fun.

While we were there it rained for about 20min or so.  We all crammed into the small living room where we had to scream to hear each other.  The rain was so loud hitting the tin roof.  Wilson's mom made us each a boiled egg and gave us Mt. Dew for lunch.  She was so happy to have us there.  It was such a neat experience to see where Wilson came from. 

 Unfortunately we are not very good at remembering to take pictures and have none to show for this day....other than the 2 you see above when we were buying food. We promise to do a better job capturing our days on camera this week!
