Blogging on the go
Car mechanical breakdowns can happen anywhere, but does AA cover extend to Uganda? Rory tells us how he made it home after the engine in his vehicle overheated.
Stonechips, Guinness and Bishops.
While travelling to Kampala this morning I noted again what an interesting journey it can be…...
Times, they are a changin.
Our Medical Superintendent is to be married…that’s me!
Big Bums Quick!
Advertising posters can catch one’s eye while sitting in a Kampala traffic jam staring into space. “Big bums quick” caught the eye of Rory and stimulated a reflection on growth and development in Uganda.
Rory the Baptiser
Like many things I seem to end up doing, assisting in a baptism is somewhat stretching the ‘any other reasonable tasks’ part of my job description as a Medical Superintendent….but what a great way to spend an afternoon.
Superglue me.
Applying superglue to a child’s lips might send some scurrying to find the number for social services….but not in Kiwoko…..
Thy kingdom come....
For a moment I caught a glimpse of the power of uncountable numbers of people from every nation before God’s throne worshiping from their hearts. Christianity is not a middle class white Western world social construct. This God we are worshiping is God over all the earth He has made. The reality of that can seem distant in our busy media full lives, but man, I have been struck forcefully (yet) again of who are God is, and indeed how blessed I am to know him and work with His people here.
John goes home laughing
John is an eight year old lad from a village about 20 miles from Kiwoko. On Thursday he was at school but on Friday morning he was not able to wake up properly and was fighting for his life against bacterial meningitis.
The Rains Are Here!
Greetings from a rainy Kiwoko!
They’ve come at last. I got soaked last night when out on my bicycle – sort of not good as I was wet and muddy, but sort of fantastic as we now have some water in the hospital water tanks.
Our container also arrived last weekend. Brian Dorman and some friends had garnered up some fantastic equipment from various hospitals and friends. The container got stuck in Kenya in the middle of all the strife there. Amazingly it arrived on Saturday afternoon, when as circumstances would have it, Brian was visiting Kiwoko. What had taken him weeks to prepare, and a day with a forklift truck to pack, our men unloaded by hand (with the aid of 2 ropes and 3 planks) in 1.5 hours.
Happy Christmas to All Our Readers
Yesterday was the Kiwoko hospital Christmas party.
With singing, sketches, food, speeches it was an excellent afternoon. Students, staff and children presented, and unlike last year the rain stayed away and let us eat the roasted bull in peace.
