We Love a Bit of Takeway

16th Dec. Barbara & Team

We're sitting in a very pretty garden having our last African tea, chatting & playing cards before heading to the airport. We've spent the day shopping, relaxing & eating, & managed to meet up with Gertrude as well as Patrick.

Once again I'm astounded by the warmth & generosity of all the Ugandan staff we've met. Their love & compassion for vulnerable children combined with their impressive hard work & desire to serve their local communities has challenged & inspired me. Despite flagging today, I'm so glad I came, & am once again going home determined to support the work of Global Care to the best of my ability. The joy & gratitude of children at activity days left us humbled & blessed. 

I asked the team what they're taking home from the trip.... 

- a changed perspective on the way other people live

- a better understanding of Global Care's work in Uganda

- a kinder heart

- a real image of Uganda, it does rain in Africa, and I'm leaving behind the stereotypes

- new friendships & getting to know everyone

- a cap

- to be grateful for the basics like electricity, water & a house to live in

- friends

- fresh vision

- heat rash, insect bites, two cows & five goats from the side of the road!! 

It's been an adventure. What a fabulous team. Hopefully in the UK tomorrow morning. 

 

Thanks for all your support. 

Happy Christmas!
