Thursday

Today travelled from Kampala to Msindi district, this picture is of a little girl doing a wonderful poem about Health. The reception we were given by this community that Wateraid has helped was so moving. The people we have met are hard working, studious people with a real joy for life. They are trapped in poverty made ever worse but poor water supply.

Today we travelled to Mpingi and Masindi Town. Our 2 hour journey turned out to be over 4. The seats are not very comfortable I can tell you. We arrived late but the council had waited for us. In the main council chamber. After Inroductions and several presentations the Chief Officer Henry Makumbi gave a softly spoken but very encouraging talk about how his council, working in partnership had begun to make real changes to enable villages to help themselves and move towards a 100% coverage of adequate clean water and sanitation.
