Gulu

Hello everyone, and sorry for not keep you better updated. I now have internet capabilities (however limited) and will keep you updated on this wonderful adventure.
I arrived in Entebe, Uganda the night of the 13th, and spent the next day and a half buying supplies for Gulu. We drove to Gulu on the 15th, and the drive only took us four and a half hours instead of six and half, to seven. We stopped to take a quick picture of the Nile, as well as some wild baboons along the way. I will attach those and more pictures soon. We have spent the past few days unpacking supplies and getting the house ready for the return of the children on Wednesday. I have also done a few odd jobs around the house, but the major projects won’t start until Mike gets me the materials I need.
The children are not here because by law they must return to their “home” (where they came from”, for a minimum of three weeks a year. Because of this the children were sent home for ten days, but they are all anxious to return, and I am unbelievably anxious for them to return. Cassie the other volunteer feels the same way. It’s been a little rough not being able to go out into the community with our downtime to visit the community and play with the kids. We will be busy soon enough however, with the children starting the day at 5am, and us not finishing our chores until almost 9pm
Thanks again for your patience and for your support. Here’s to writing an incredible next chapter.

Love and miss you all,

Joe
