Summer Of Fun

OK so I haven't posted in a while! But I've been buisy.

The whole summer has been taken up by a 3 and a half week long trip to Uganda to do mission work. Then a short trip to Edinburgh to see the tattoo. THEN I was recruited to help out with a holiday Bible club.

Anyone who has talked to me recently probably knows an awefull lot about my experience in Uganda and because I don't want to shoot off into a long ramble because then none of you will read this. But for those of you that want to know more click here.

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo was awesome and well worth going to see at least once. It's great being arround Edinburgh when the Military Tattoo is on because it's the same time as the Edinburgh Festival. Although i didn't go to see any of the stand up comedians the Fringe Festival does provide a variety of free performances.

I enjoyed my time in Edinburgh as, like many more popular European cities like Prauge (Also a must see destination) or Rome, it is filled with beautiful ancient buildings and an interesting history.

Moley.

My Ugandan Adventure!

For those of you who don't know. I am heading off to Uganda for three and a half weeks. I will be living in Kampala for that duration and will be traveling to various primary and secondary school in outlying regions and may be going to an orphanage. I will be helping in the construction of playground equipment. (Basically swings, goal posts and badminton nets)

I'll be heading out with Love for Life and Fields of Life. Fields of Life is a charity dedicated to construction projects in Africa. That takes care of my side of the trip. But what of Love for Life? Don't they do sex education? Well with Aids a growing problem and the Witchdoctor culture in Africa this poses a problem for children as young as seven who turn to prostitution as in Africa it is believed if you take a young virgin you are cured of Aids. This is a growing problem in Africa and one which is not well publicised. Love for Life will be going arround primary school and secondary schools giving talks.

I'll keep you updated on anything that happens with relation to the trip. Wish me luck. I may need it.
