We heading back to Chegere SACCO for our last day with them. This time we danced again and Solomon sang a
Ugandan song and again performed the ‘vigorous jumping’ dance for me. Something very amusing was that Selestino
asked me if I knew of any Canadian women who would like to marry him; he was
just joking but we had a lot of fun with it. He’s also a honey producer so we had a
presentation of more honey and I have a picture of him with his honey so that I
can give it to any interested potential brides to show that he would be a good
provider. Any interested candidates can
send me their resumes.
This was our last time on the terrible road and we made it
safely home so that was a good thing.
On the way home we got a call that the German fellow that I
mentioned earlier, who was with the other team in Lira, had collapsed at the
SACCO they were working with and had been taken to the hospital in Lira. So we
went directly to the hospital when we arrived back. Let’s just say that we’re very lucky to have
the medical system that we do. Just
getting an ambulance was an ordeal. No
one knew how to contact one and there is definitely no ‘911’ to call. Luckily
John was in Lira and went to the hospital and located an ambulance but was told
that he had to go the district office to request permission to have it sent
out. Then they had to stop for fuel which
John had to pay for before it could head off.
Once the ambulance issue had been sorted the medical care at
the hospital was excellent and we highly recommend Dr. Pamela. However, the hospitals don’t provide meals so
we had to head out to get him some food.
Well, so much for doing our reports tonight but we have to
prepare for tomorrow so off I go to do that.
