Rae and I got back from Uganda yesterday after a mega long trip which was absolutely amazing.

We are both sorry that we could not let you know what we were up to while we were away, but there was no opportunity to send messages back home. And as we only in the villages for two days, the chances of stopping for five minutes wasn’t going to happen.

We were met on Saturday morning by Mrs Owor, she is one of main leaders of TOCIDA. She had planned an intensive itinerary for us as she wanted us to meet as many of the children as possible during the 48 hrs we were going to spend in the villages of Tororro.

We arrived at Doreen’s house at lunchtime, and were greeted by the best welcome we have ever had. The women have an awesome way of greeting you, and if you have ever visited Uganda you will know.

There is so much to tell you about every child we met, and I’m not sure I can go into detail in this post. But I will add their information to the Uganda page, so you can see how we are helping each individual child.

The main purpose of our visit was to assess the opportunities for volunteers out in Tororro. During our visit we visit went to the TOCIDA HQ, and saw the facilities that they have, or perhaps haven’t.

Rae and I are both overwhelmed by the welcome we received from each of the families. They were so grateful for the support that we have so far given them. Each of the children have all had simple things like school bags, shoes and socks. A few of the children were given money in order to receive medical treatment, Gabriel in particular is now able to hear after he was able to get much needed treatment for an ear infection that made him deaf.

We are grateful to the Owor family for the support they gave us during our trip; we have never felt so looked after.

The SAFE Foundation will soon meet up and discuss what Rae and I have seen, and there is a lot to discuss. We will also attend the next Vale for Africa meeting and will relay everything to them.

Big love to all our supporters. xx Lou
