Location Location Location!
As you know we go to the slums Monday Wednesday Friday. Wednesday we had a new team of about 5 volunteers come into Kampala. Up till now we have been doing the medical and feeding programs open air at the Gulu wall, where alot of older boys hang out, and alot of the younger ones from Chisenyi are afraid to come and eat because of the territorial feel of the place (the older boys will sometimes hit and push them around). Anyway, it all came together last week that African Hearts actually has a place with covering from the sun and ...well, at least 3 walls (way more then we had!) A local church is letting us use their building 3 days a week, as well as chairs, and a shipping container to store supplies so not everything has to be packed in every time! The best part is it's on neutral territory so no one has to be afraid to come. Also, with a building comes more ability to create structure so we can start doing basic literacy with the kids like they had done before in Chisenyi, we can say no drugs within these walls, and in general there's less distractions.
And the kids did come! It was a great turn out for day 1. Some of the Chisenyi boys, even some of the older boys, and several new younger kiddos. We had a great day with them.

Back to Ssenge
Yesterday, Thursday, 2 of the Ssenge boys had birthdays (though no one really knows their ages or birthdays) so we taxi'd out to Ssenge, planted trees untill the boys came home and then ate Moreen's amazing fried chicken and Jess's amazing Chipati, cabbage and peas (Ronald, one of the birthday boys, planned the menu). We taught them to play Red Rover which was a lot of fun. LOVE those boys.
