Not much have happened since the weekend, the days just fly by. You wake up early to work, you come home late, have to buy groceries, cook dinner and then it’s time for bed. Not much time to do anything besides the necessary.
But what have happened is that we’ve had some sort of outbreak of illness in the group, almost everyone is experiencing unruly stomachs or headaches. Several people have under the course of the week stayed home or went home early because of illness, myself included. The most probable cause to this is some type of food we’ve all eaten together, maybe the dinner or breakfast we ate at our overnight stay in Jinja?
Oh, I almost forgot, the new group of teachers consisting of Erika, Matthew and Magnus has arrived to Uganda. They visited us all
at our workplaces during the day, to say hi and get accustomed to our workplaces. Maria has, as I’m sure some of you know, already traveled back to Sweden. But Anders and Stefan is still here, and they will be going home during the night of Thursday/Friday.
This weekend we will be going to Bussi Islands - which is a group of Islands in Lake Victoria - as a part of our project “solvatten” where we will help these poor inhabitants with devices to making clean and safe water. Besides helping them with water, we’ve all brought some stuff from Sweden to give to the people that live there. I myself brought clothes, caps, pens and writing blocks.
That is all for now, here are some new pictures!
Ugandas biggest rainforrest, which is not big at all compared to Rwandas forrest. It is located inbetween Kampala and Jinja.
Congratulations Jonas on your fantastic English blog! A real pleasure to read (Scott, your turn next!).
SvaraRaderaSo sorry to hear about the outbreak of tummy bugs and headaches, more than likely the change in environment at the weekend with the rafting and probably too much of Nile that was inadvertently swallowed?
Keep using the hand disinfectant and the "stop the tummy rot" tablets.
Yes, you guessed right, this is Scott's English Mum writing.
Ulf and I are also struggling this week, with a mild bout of the flu that has hit hard, especially the West coast of Sweden. The local GP newspaper estimated that 1 million Swedes were ill with the current flu virus!
Keep up the good work and enjoy Bussi Island and all the new things that you will, no doubt, experience there.
Take care of each other, remember a little "TLC" goes a long way!
Big hug to all!
Fiona
Hej Jonas
SvaraRaderaStackare, har du åkt på ngn form av magsjuka?
Hoppas den försvann lika fort som den antagligen kom.
Ditt inlägg på Engelska var mycket bra, du är verkligen jätteduktig på att uttrycka och formulera dig i både Engelska Och skrift.
Pappa berättade att det tydligen blir en fiskeresa till Victoriasjön för din del. Hoppas det, för det var ju vad du verkligen ville.
Ska bli riktigt kul när du kommer hem så man får höra och se vad du har varit med om.
Njut så mycket du bara kan av dom sista veckorna(tiden går fort eller hur?)
Hälsa alla så gott och sköt om er.
Kram Mamma(Resten av familjen hälsar också).
