In Kampala, I live in a pleasant suburbian community. I can take a nice jog, treat myself to ice cream and then meander to the coffee shop around the corner. I currently share this place with my Sudanese friend, Lagu and our American finance lady, Lori. It's also the SP guest so we have visitors coming through on a regular basis.
(Kamwenge: we have the office on the right, with a set of 12 rooms in the back)
In Kamwenge, we are renting this hotel from Justice, a widow in the community. It is a blessing to be able to support her. It will be used as our office space and our home. There are 12 rooms in the back so I will always have lots of company. However, digging a new latrine is going to be one of our first orders of business because let's just say the old one is all filled up. Oh the joys of living in Africa!

It looks like quite the difference between your two homes. How far is the distance between the two places? Or perhaps I should ask how long it takes to travel the distance.
It is so good to get a visual of where you are working. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Hooray! I'm so happy you have a home! You know... I never really thought of Africa having suburbs! How interesting! I thought you'd be out in the woods on a hammock made from monkey fur or something.
Well, I am praying for you!
Love, Lisa
