Countdown to Uganda

Next week 6 of us from YWAM - The Kings Lodge near Nuneaton are off to Uganda.

We have been learning so much and the course has been really busy. You can see what we've been up to on Kelda's site : http://www.keldallan.blogspot.com/ The pictures here show our whole class (not all of us are going), Dr Mike demonstarting an abdominal examination and James taking vital signs.

So far we don't know exactly what we will be doing. However, the rough plan is to spend the first 2 weeks in orientation at a clinic near Jinja (1 hour East of Kampala), then to spend 2 weeks or so on an island in Lake Victoria where they have little healthcare provision, and finally we are off up north where we will spend the rest of our time providing healthcare to refugees.

We will be running health clinics under trees and giving health education to anyone who will listen! Hopefully we will also be involved in immunisation and child health programmes.

Internet access will be limited, but I will try to blog as much as I can.

Please pray for safe journeys, good health and good relationships with the team.

See you in August!
