This morning I had my orientation for one...so formal and 'by the book' as if I was part of a whole group, funny (well I am - Global Medical Team, but it's just me)! Looks like I will be having a very full on week ahead with lots of assessments and trainings to be done for the special needs team and the mothers of the villages. Sarah who is the special needs co-ordinator and, who I think is an occupational therapist, is fantastic and we hit it off straight away! As you can see I had lunch with Steven. I ordered a coffee^ and that is the size of the latte! No flat whites here ( :P) and coffee is just not the same as back home...in fact we are incredibly blessed to have the coffee we do in NZ!
Driving through the city, there are many sites like this...road side businesses - every man and woman selling & making anything and everything from nothing to make his living. From chickens in cages & hanging meat to BB Modern Electronics...
Then of course every man HAS to have one of these bikes...it's a wistful notion for most and many of the men will sit on their bike on the side road showing off with their friends & chatting the morning away.

I love this photo below. Its trendy to have big hips ;) Most of the mannequins displaying the dresses have altered bigger hips!
This is my very flash accommodation! The Watoto guest house, where all volunteers/groups stay during their time with Watoto. The ladies here, looking after me, are so friendly and so lovely! I have a four posted bed! And a much needed net curtain for the mozzies. A group from America arrived yesterday, they headed to Gulu on a building project (noted - more woman than men in that group!) and I think an Australian group arrive tomorrow. So not completely alone here ;)
