Meetings...

Today we had the privilege and joy of meeting up with our newly-appointed Bishop, Patrick, in Rukungiri which is about an hour's drive away, mostly on murram roads.  It proved a really encouraging meeting discussing a number of aspects of life at Kisiizi.  It is a key time in the life of Kisiizi with many significant changes anticipated so we pray that the opportunities will be taken to move things forward positively.  We will be having various meetings about strategic plans for the future.

We enjoyed stopping in a river valley for 15 minutes on the way home to look at the hot springs and watch a few of the local birds.  We could hear but not see monkeys nearby.

This afternoon we met with Dr Denise who is a physician and heads up the HIV work here.  She is also the co-ordinator of the medical student electives together with Grace Iga who is an Orthopaedic Officer.  We discussed how to maximise the benefit of the electives for both Ugandan and ex-patriate students.

Ruth and Beth have developed a reputation for teaching enthusiastic PE classes and Ruth will be giving a presentation on Autistic Spectrum issues tomorrow as this is an area that is not really appreciated here at present.

The man admitted yesterday with shackles has now had them removed and has commenced his medication.
