Old Friends and New
While I can’t report anything dramatic has happened, I have enjoyed all the people that I have met this week. Yesterday I ran into the former manager of the Children of War Center, Joseph, who is now in Kampala and today, Carolyne Siganda who is the WVUS rep that I work with in Washington D.C., arrive from Kenya and I will spend some time with her and James, the leader of the northern district for WVU to plan for the future. I continue to be impressed with the passion, commitment, and diligence which the staff at all levels displays.

Yesterday went well, I think. I spent the afternoon at WVU headquarters and did a 2 hour training with about 15 group leaders there. Each group leader has 10 people in their group and they meet about 3 times a week. The purpose is to help the staff grow spiritually. They were motivated and after my presentation asked great questions. I encouraged Vincent to meet with these leaders on a monthly basis, something that both Vincent and the group leaders thought was a good idea. I arrived back in Mukono around 6:30 p.m.—the rush hour traffic is awful. In light traffic it is about a 25 minute drive but it took us well over an hour.
