Goodbye Uganda

We are now on the minibus and are very much enjoying clementines, apples and kettle crisps (thanks Wormald parents!)

The roads are so smooth, organised and quiet! It's such a shock not seeing little children playing on the side of the road who immediately stop and wave at you when you drive past.

The morale of the team seems so low as we drive back from the airport. I don't think anyone expected to miss Uganda so much already. Even the novelty of being able to wash your hands with warm water and soap and not have to use antibacterial gel afterwards is no competition. There are so many things at home that we don't realise that we take for granted until we don't have them.

One of the most surprising things that we saw was how joyful everyone was. When we arrived at the compound in Mbale all of the girls immediately ran up to greet all of us and were so excited to see us. These girls are so joyful in the situation that they're in and it really struck home that we should be joyful in our own lives and situations because joy is something that has immense value and cannot be replaced.

Thanks so much for all of your support and we can't wait to see all our family and friends to tell them more about the exciting time we've had!
