This was my last weekend in Uganda, so I tried to make the most of these last two “free days.” On Saturday, I went to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens and walked around a little bit. Rumor has it that some Tarzan scenes were filmed there, so naturally, I had to go and see for myself....
It has been another very busy week here at PCAU. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Jinja with Mark and Rose meeting children and guardians. We were able to visit four schools and do three home visits. We also held a meeting and talked with all of the guardians just like we did in Hoima...

I wanted to start out this update by letting you all know that there was NOT a rat in my kitchen like I said in my last post! I left the girl next door with my kitchen key one day and she went in to clean out what we thought was a rat. I am embarrassed...
