One roof down and one to go

Today we went back into Karamoja and the rains have begun. I think its for real this time. So much so that my tent didn't stand a chance. Don't get me, wrong the tent i have is great but it was never intended to be used for 6 months straight. It sounds funny when I say that i live in a tent in Africa. Anyhow I came back today to find my tents center pole collapsed, so once again it was time for repair and the magic fix for everything is binding wire. Give me some bamboo, some papyrus mats, and I'll make just about anything. So the tent is fixed for now. I think this time now all the poles have been messed up. Another thing we did today was bring up one roof upside down on the back of a truck. It was quite a challege to lift the roof over a fence even with ten guys. Once we reached home the next challenge arose cause the road was not big enough for the roof to pass without tilting. We got what seemed like most of the idlers in town to carry the roof. So one roof down and one to go.
