Well I'm back.Wanted to email from Kampala but the electricity was down.So here are my thoughts .
We accomplished all the things we wanted to find out ,fix and gather.What have I learnt.How can we call Africa a third world,what is a third world,is that just us being arrogent Westerners thinking we have it all right and they don't and all they can do is learn from us.Africa has the same problems,currupt politicians the break up of families,the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.We have something to learn to from them.openness,helping each other,reaching out.I hope I can convey what I have learnt not in an arrogent fashion but humbley and with a passion to get others to understand Africa and how we can learn from each other.How African's hold up the importance of education and strive to get an education wheras we are complacent and take so many things for grantedMaybe if we Westerners stop thinking of Africa as a 3rd World but as Africa we can be open to each other.
Coming back I want to try and raise enough money so the kids from the "slum" can go to school all day and we could provide them with a good breakfeast so they will get one good meal a day.I think it is feasible to feed all the children(32) plus a cook will be $2,000 for the year approx.So that is my next gaol.
I will put up some pictures soon Sue
