E Howard and E Grundy (just came from Nevada and they are here in Uganda for their 3rd time!!) R Is about to blow out all his candles. His wishes will come true. Not bad for 69!!!! |
This is the Bugembe Health Center IV for maternity. We have had a VIP Latrine built for this center. (vented improved pit latrine) It has been built behind the center, |
The nice, newly built latrine, with a roof catchment so the mothers can wash up. |
One of the stalls. no toilet just the hole in the ground. This is the VIP latrine. The pit can be drained when it is full, unlike regular latrines. |
Left to right: Mathias (contractor) E Howard, Abubaker, Stk Pres Mbiro with the Mayor. The mayor has just told us "no handover" He wants different paint. |
President Chatfield, S Chatfield, S Howard, E Howard & Mathias. We decide to take a pic anyhow because Chatfields won't be able to come back. And then we go on to Lake View School. |
The kids are all excited as we pull up. Maybe just to get out of class for awhile. |
It is hard to tell girls from boys because they all have to shave their heads. Boys have on shorts and girls are skirts or jumpers. |
As we waited to get started a little boy (?) walked past us all and went and made himself comfortable on Pres Chatfield's lap. We all had to smile and Pres Chatfield was quite pleased!! |
I noticed an older woman sitting on the front row, in her Sunday best. She must be someones grandmother. |
The school kids are singing us a welcome song. Mathias is talking to the Assistant Head Teacher. We had a prayer, national anthem, and the pledge. All before we each talked. |
Chatfields with new friend, who eventually leaned back and went to sleep. He was very comfortable. |
More singing and even some riddles. |
Pres Mbiro introduce us to this member who is inactive. He is a member of the school board. I hope he will be at church this week. |
This is the nicely tiled girls washroom. |
The appreciation plaque. |
S Chatfield & friends. |
The ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor and Pres Mbiro with the Head Mistress Teacher. Richard Okello is taking the pic. |
I think these girls will be the first to use new latrine! |
