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”
