Two busy days in Muko

The power was out last night so I was not able to post. However we had two busy days. Yesterday we arrived in Muko at 8:30 to prepare for Dale's dental clinic. We invited all 59 orphans to have their teeth checked. My primary jobs during the time was to take pictures of the orphans and interview their guardians. Holly acted as Dale's assistant.

We finished the clinic around three then immediately after Holly and I had to lead a focus group with the men of the village. We asked them what they would like to do to help out with the ACT program. The event was very successful and we received great feedback. We left Muko and arrived in Kabale with time to spare.

We spent a few minutes looking around downtown Kabale before going to dinner. It took three hours for them to serve us and the power went out multiple times. Still it was a good dinner with great conversation.

Today we arrived in Muko a little before 10 in the morning. The women of the village who make handcrafts were visiting the center to participate in a few sessions we hosted. Dale taught the women how to sew (among other things) while Holly taught them proper cutting techniques and I hosted another focus group to determine how we can help them out. This event was also very successful.

For lunch we ate at a nearby campground before heading off for some errands. First we stopped at a school that is currently being built. The headmaster is a Ugandan native who travels back and forth to the U.S. We also visited some land ACT is looking at purchasing. We then traveled to Ikamiro Church to have tea with Reverend Julius before visiting the medical clinic and the garden of one of the board members.

We left Muko after dark so we decided to eat at the hotel. It was a good meal. It was an amazing few days that have impacted me greatly. Unfortunately I am too tired tonight to discuss in much detail.
