Drive to the Red Chili Murchison and: SAFARI!
Sunday – With 5 people in the Van, we had a small group to cope with. Easy going people, just fun! The stops on the road were a bit different of what was plant (or known by me, for that way). We had a packed lunch from the hotel, we took it in bit by bit during […]
Reorganising – Back to Kampala
Friday – Our last day in Soroti, for this trip. We had to pack. And we wanted to visit a Dutch lady, whom is running a temporary home for AIDS-kids, the littlest of them. What an inspiring conversation! She is living in Uganda for more than 15 years, taking timely care of babies born with HIV […]

Unity School

Three partners worked together to make it happen: Call4Uganda (an American foundation), foundations in Holland (Chica and Wild Goose) and, of course, the Unity School with her community around. […]
Pork lunch
It’s a ritual. It’s a tradition. Pork lunch for special occasions. The pork is marinated, steamed and grilled. Really, really good! Served with potato’s (nicely spiced), tomato’s and onions. Wash your hands! You will need them! The bar was just around the corner, you might say. In a street with quite some bars. The typical […]
