For two weeks now we are all on holidays and will return to Karamoja on the 11th of June. I spent the weekend after the conference in Jinja, Uganda, celebrating Summer's birthday by having a party Sat night. We had it at Sarah's house which was really great because then it could be a party celebrating numerous birthdays that had passed, like Miriam's and some of the kids that live at Sarah's house also. We played games with the kids like Capture the Flag and 3-legged races, then eating like kings (or queens) which is only right at a party and then having a disco and dressups!!! It was so much fun and a great way to start the break :)
 
On Monday I took a 16 hour bus to Nairobi, Kenya and was picked up by new and wonderful friends from the PEAR conference, Greg and Lisa. They are a young New Zealand couple working with the Christian organisation 'A-Cross' in Nairobi for a year, giving financial advice and accounting assistance to help them with financial stability. They are real cool cats and actually the best, as they came and got me at 11pm from the city centre and then brought me back to vegemite toast, yay! ice-cream and the comfiest bed in the world. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven :)
