This week I have been mainly been bitten!! My feet are just covered in bites all over, there look lovely!
the week so far has gone well, am busy trying to get the first section of the life skills program finished which should hopefully be done by tomorrow. We have summer team here in mbale from oasis for this week which has been really great. They have been running a kids club in the area where our project will be set up, so I have gone along for the last 2 days. I has been so encouraging to see, they are such a great team, have run a great program and giving us lots of ideas that we will pinch!! It has been really good for me to get to know the area better and to meet some of the kids and see the situations that they are living in. As we walk to where the kids club is felt you walk through on of the local breweries which I am told is a small one, (it don't seem it) they produce the local brew which is so strong, and the kids of the families that run these places are involved in the brewing process normally and the girls in the serving which means they can be exposed to sexual abuse from the local drunks that they are serving. This is one of the main issues that the girls that we will be working with will be facing. It has motivated me more to work hard to get a really good life skills program that will hopefully help them understand their own self worth and value. Will try to get some pictures of the area where we will be working and our piece of land that we own which is very exciting still!!
