Self raising?

You need to know how to take a lady out for a treat.

Last week we tried our first restaurant in Kiwoko. This was little more than a shack with some home made tables which served chicken and chips in the evening. The food was surprisingly good and the chef a bit of a character.

 

At the hospital some of the staff arranged a childrens’ Holiday Club for the weekend. Most of the 200 or so children were from staff families but there were some from the local village.

 

Malcolm returned to Kisiizi Hospital for the week to audit the accounts of the Hospital’s Power Company. A Tourist Guide says that because the hospital has its on hydro-electric scheme it has the most reliable power supply in Uganda. Unfortunately after several weeks of no rain the power had had to be rationed because of the low water levels. However, the rains returned the same weekend as Malcolm.

 

Whilst he was there the hospital formally opened its new block of 8 staff apartments. For this the chairperson and husband of the UK Charity that supports the Hospital came to ‘cut the cake and open the house.

 

This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from Uganda  “It takes the whole village to raise a child”
