A Day for International Women

Last Saturday, 8th March, was International Women’s day. This week we will look at how some International Women celebrated.


It was a good day for relaxing in the swimming pool. Dr Corrie thought a refreshing drink would be he best way to toast the day.



Always enjoying any opportunity to dress up, Corrie and Irene tried on some local dresses. Dr Corrie looks particularly fetching in a ‘Gomez’ which is the traditional costume of the Lugandan tribe.



Meanwhile a couple of Ugandan girls were enjoying themselves trying out a new, oversized, hand bag.



Mairead has been working at the Hospital for the last 6 months but it was time to return home to Ireland. She has spent some time teaching computers to the Nursing School students, who thanked her by presenting a gift.



Last week we talked about buying meat in a local market. This week we enjoyed a meal with Corrie of beef stew, roast potatoes, beans and carrots. Lovely!



The bug of the week are a ‘flutter’ of tiny butterflies which we spotted trying to cool off in the baking sun.



This week’s Proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from Nigeria: A woman is never old when it comes to the dance she knows
