Another Week
It
seems that things are finally happening with the computers. We have decided to
move them into the Diocesan Offices for the short term. The school is still
having problems finishing the classroom that was originally to house them. Last
week they were robbed again. This time some theives stole the power lines
between the school and the main road - despite two security guards on duty - or
not on duty as the case may be. On Monday the great move begins with what
promises to be many trips between my house and the offices. Still it will be
great to get them setupand to clear out that corner/side of my house again.
The Malaria has cleared up at last. I was on Quinine for a week which I have
been told can be worse than the Malaria itself. So many people here don't bother
with anti-Malaria tablets that I wonder if I should continue with them. For one
thing anti-malarials mask the Malaria symtoms and indeed make it difficult to
get a positive test despite the presence of the parasites in ones blood.
Dudley
is well though I must admit I despair with him sometimes. A small bedraggled
looking chick has begun coming into my house regularly to help itself to
Dudley's dinner. Dudley in return watches it, with seeming disinterest. I think
a course of Viagra or Testosterone or something is needed to stir him into
action. To think that a week ago I was debating on when to take him for the
snip.
The other bit of news is that I will probably be staying on in Uganda a
little bit longer. I would hate to head home to Ireland leaving my students here
with a huge stack of notes on the theory of computers but no practical
experience. I will probably stay until next Easter.
Next week I hope to be able to show you some photographs of the computer room
up and running. I also expect to be able to add some new video clips so keep
your eyes peeled.
If you get a chance also check out the Quill family website at www.geocities.com/quillsinuganda.
They are also in Luweero with CMS Ireland and are great friends of mine. They
will I'm sure give a different perspective on life here
