Moved to my house yesterday....living in Iganga but set back deep within the local community. We were dropped.off yesterday the 8 of us and left with only our luggage and 6 foam matresses between 8 people. There was a alot of stress and tears as we were all pretty concerned that we werent going to be safe. I cant say that im over confident that we will definately be safe as all the other volunteers have been placed within compounds and we dont even have a fence / gate but we ve been reassured that it should be fine so just going with the flow at the minute. Weve spent this morning budgetting and the ugandan volnteers have gone off now to the market to get our houses months supply of rice and beans and posho etc. They didnt want us to go with them as the prices were being hiked up when the shop owners saw 'muzungos' (aka white people).
Its super super hot in this district....good to be in the sunshine though.
So we re off work now till next monday....plan to travel into Jinga tomorrow and meet up with the volunteers there and stay over in a youth hostel.
Bloggin off my mobile so cant upload any pics but i will do soon as i can.
