Arran to Uganda
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who donated money, musical instruments and craft materials to “Planting for Hope Uganda”. My brother Lionel and I set off in early February with three heavily laden suitcases of donations. The cases were in fact so heavy we could hardly lift them and the donations were all very gratefully received. Some donations are to be used in the school, while others are being kept at the project base for use with the village ladies.
We arrived in Entebbe very early in the morning and we were taken to rest for a couple of hours at a hotel overlooking Lake Victoria, where we were able to freshen up and have a good breakfast. Then with our Ugandan project leader, called Apollo, a 6 hour journey started, going via the bank and shops for some basic supplies, along with getting some essential bottled water. We broke the journey on the equator where we could watch a fascinating water experiment, with two sinks a couple of feet apart. They had water flowing in opposite directions and in a third sink placed on the line the water just gurgled down the plug hole.
