Danny & Annie @ VSO: January 2009
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Monday, 12 January 2009. Tips on settling in for volunteers outside of Kampala. These are tips only for volunteers outside of Kampala since Kampala is a totally different world from the rest of Uganda - plenty of shopping malls, etc. Our house had a table, 2 wooden chairs, 2 single beds with mattresses and a toilet brush. No dishes, nothing to clean with, no basins for doing laundry, no clothesline, no sheets, blankets, etc. It took many months to fully furnish our house. Jerry can...

Danny & Annie @ VSO: HOME!
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009/10/home.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Tuesday, 6 October 2009. After tearful goodbyes in Kampala and at the airport, we took the long journey home to Scotland. We've been touring the Inverness area with Danny's daughter and her husband, and getting used to the drastic drop in temperature. Here's a few pics I took yesterday and I'll continue blogging here:.

Danny & Annie @ VSO: April 2009
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Thursday, 30 April 2009. A goat.and a passport. Nothe goat didn't eat a passport. We have been invited to the farm of our next door neighbour for a big meal tomorrow with his entire family. In Uganda meat is always served when guests are invited. So tomorrow's special course is tied to a tree across the road from our homes. Personally, I like goat meat but I've never seen a live animal prior to consuming it at a meal. I am a dual citizen. Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Since contributio...

Danny & Annie @ VSO: August 2009
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Friday, 28 August 2009. Hair salons in Uganda. It is difficult to find a hair stylist in Uganda that knows how to properly cut mzungu hair, and most will refuse to try. I took my chances twice at salons and had my hair 'butchered'. So I suggest you only go to a salon which is recommended by someone. Monday, 24 August 2009. To live in a country for a year or two and never spend a day with a local family is a shame. Something important from the time living here will be missing. Danny...

Danny & Annie @ VSO: Last days
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009/09/last-days.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Thursday, 24 September 2009. Lwamafa, college principal for our first year, and his wife Jovuline. 65279; Seems like everyone has invited us for a goodbye meal and we've enjoyed them all immensely. We had our leaving do/party at the college yesterday and I felt quite sad to say goodbye. Danny wore his kilt which was cause for many giggles. He gave a lovely speech as well. A second year student. Some second year students prepare to go on teaching practice. Our dear friend Mushabe.

Danny & Annie @ VSO: February 2009
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Friday, 27 February 2009. Packages and Ugandan postal 'service'. There have been packages posted to us here in Uganda which have never been received. Tuesday, 17 February 2009. Danny's daughter, Kathleen, and her husband, Riaan, visited us for the first two weeks in February. Aside from a couple of 'glitches' we all enjoyed the trip. Since there were only 4 of us we used our own car and Danny did most of the driving including game drives, Riaan also helped drive. Most of our accomm...

Danny & Annie @ VSO: June 2009
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Sunday, 14 June 2009. Update on Doreen, future lawyer. While Doreen is waiting for the results she has been devouring most of our books as she is a voracious reader. Results from the universities are expected the end of June and beginning of July. UCU results are delayed due to the university adding interviews with prospective students instead of simply accepting by exam results. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Previously Mbarara, Uganda.

Danny & Annie @ VSO: November 2010
http://volunteersabroad.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Danny and Annie @ VSO. Tuesday, 23 November 2010. I am going to have this blog printed as a book and have had to replace the Uganda-dead-slow-internet-uploadable-sized photos with the originals so they would be print quality. Some of the originals are missing, so there are some changes in the blog in case anyone is wondering. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Previously Mbarara, Uganda. View my complete profile.
