The meeting with the chilli farmers. The project entails funding from International Friendship for Development (IFD) to farmers to cultivate their land for chilli production and export the chilli to Europe.

Harpa getting on with the locals... locals style.. sitting under a tree
An african child.
We walked past a school in our visit. Mzungu! Mzungu! Mzungu! they shouted. ( which means "white person")
We went for a short visit to Lalle Primary School, where we will be teaching. The kids were so happy to see us, and sang and sang and followed us around.
Here they are standing proud next to the water pump, which IFD funded recently.
Pamela, Harpa, me and my moustache travelled to Lake Kyoga, which is huge and unspoiled.
The vast savannah's are quite impressive. You can see the tiny huts in the background.
This is the nightwatchman's shed. (We'll post pictures of the house later.)
Although the fauna in Uganda is mostly restricted to the national parks, that doesn't mean the occasional hedge-hodge doesn't get in the way of construction, or lizards in the bathroom and golfball sized beetles in the sink for that matter.
Harpa was very impressed with the girls' ability to carry objects of almost any nature on their heads.
This is Soroti rock in the background, which is in the centre of town, which we intend to climb one day.
The "fancy" suburbs of Soroti
The families at the chili sites where happy to see us and gave us oranges, aubergines and a live chicken! As it is considered rude not to accept a gift, we of course took it, even though, you know...
...then we naturally had to get the chicken home, Harpa was less than keen to share the backseat with it, the chicken was not so happy either and raised some objections with its travelling companion.
This is a cleaning facility, very cost-effective, as the chicken are apparantly used as labour as well.
...then the unavoidable demise of the chicken. (Even though I did suggest keeping it as a pet.)
