Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Archive for June 2011. Uganda 2: Saturday 25th June. Hello all, a big. Wandering through the village. And it’s nice to spend time with local folk. Too often, in our opinion, people visit Africa to. And what’s made this trip so fascinating, so memorable, and so special for us is the relationships we’ve had. About to get soaked: Kampala floods. Primary 6: only 89 in today. Ay, Bee, See. And the Lusoga alphabet (as.

Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Archive for May 2011. Rwanda: Road Trip Special. Well, where on Earth do you start? Rwanda. The very word conjures up such vivid images, doesn’t it? Day 1: Ntungamo to Kigali. Linda, via mototaxi. Perhaps more importantly, how did it happen? These are huge and fundamental questions but they simply don’t have answers. Day 3: Kigali to Kibuye. View over Lake Kivu, Kibuye. Fishermen’s raft, dusk in Kibuye. 999% witness...

A Final Word | Postcards from East Africa
https://andyandlinda.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/a-final-word
Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. To be a particularly hard riddle to extricate: to develop or not to develop? In some ways we’d like to see it preserved forever, a kind of oasis of beautiful naiveté in a continent mainly full of horrible stuff, but that would be to condemn generations to illiteracy, to poverty, to back-breaking work, and to the world’s lowest glass ceiling. On the other hand, what good will money bring them? Well, when you’re...

It’s a whitewash: The Vicar; Chig; Andy; Joseph; Moses; Rachel; Linda; Rita. A nice drop of Burgundy: St Philip's post-painting. Unless the children are quiet they will not learn anything.

Tanzania: Road Trip Special | Postcards from East Africa
https://andyandlinda.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/tanzania-road-trip-special
Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Tanzania: Road Trip Special. Far, even on an African bus. As you already know, we’d spent a couple of days in Kampala to plan our trip and relax after finishing our project, and our last entry saw us in Bukoba, a small port just the other side of the Tanzania border. So we’ll take up the story from there. Lake Victoria, Bukoba (not our ferry). MV Victoria, vintage uncertain. A Night to Remember. Loud, and not a litt...

Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Uganda 2: Saturday 9th July. So what have we been up to? Library: construction continues apace. Linda in action: phonics in Primary 3. In Linda’s Primary 5 class the children have been practising tenses -a topic we reckon a majority of Brits would struggle with (we don’t really learn them much at school, do we? Linda in action: letter writing in Primary 5. Primary 6 say Thank you St Mary's. Can teach this stuff?

Hello again everyone, and welcome to our second Ugandan installment. We’re actually using a laptop in our hut (yes! Isn’t this wireless technology stuff brilliant? Actually, it isn’t at all. You want to know about the music video, don’t you? Fame at last: Video models Linda; Lex; Vicky; Aisha; Beth. Go out and get squiffy on a school night. Right? Ps Yes, we know...

April | 2011 | Postcards from East Africa
https://andyandlinda.wordpress.com/2011/04
Postcards from East Africa. Blogging a year's volunteering in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Archive for April 2011. Uganda 1: Tuesday 26th April. How do we best serve those kids who, for whatever reason, just aren’t ever going to get clerical jobs, or move to Kampala? When you live in a tiny, remote, rural community like this, the fact remains that only a very few children will move onwards, upwards, or anywhere, for that matter. How, more relevantly, are they going to get the best out of their farmland?
