An interesting experience!

Today has gone great- we had an extra half an hour in bed, before packing up all of our stuff.

Last day :(

The gardening team were working like crazy planing all of the plants, the catch up guys taught about bones and made skeletons out of straws, and the painting team finished their 5th coat and started the decorations.

Megan, Tom and I (Emily) have ventured out of the compound to visit a local woman's savings group. It has been an interesting experience, sitting with around 20 ladies in a very small brick building. They were taught about malaria, and how to prevent getting it and how to treat it.
It then began absolutely chucking  it down, onto a tin roof. Which resulted in a very loud and dark wait for the rain to stop. The ladies have all been so welcoming and it is so great to see them saving for new businesses and supporting each other. Its a great part of Oasis work.

We had a great last devotion with the Kampala staff, we will miss them all and we are so thankful for how welcoming they have been.

We are now currently on the bus to Entebbe, we have had our final debrief and we are stuck in crazy Kampala traffic.

This country has been so amazing, the people here so welcoming and God has been awesome.
Our debrief led us to think about these 3 questions: what has surprised you most about Uganda? How have you changed for the better? What has God been speaking to us about over the trip?
They came out with some exciting and encouraging responses from many people.

Please pray for:
-safe travel home
-the traffic breaks up and we will get out of Kampala
-everyone's answers to these questions and to work out what we need to change when we get home.
