So this is Africa!

Since the last time that I posted, we have spent time in London, and arrived in Uganda. In London, we started our day on the the Undergroud Tubes. Once we reached London, from the Heathrow Terminal, we rode The Eye! This allowed us to see the majority of the city. Once the 35 minute tour was over, we walked around the city past, Big Ben, Parliment, Westminister Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedrials, Victoria Station, and the Buckingham Palace. Somewhere in there, we ate the original Fish and Chips!
Our flight to Entebbe, Uganda left at nine o'clock, so when we woke up this morning, we only had an hour left of the trip. We checked into the airport and paid t get into the country. When gathering our luggage, we realized that one of our three checked bags did not make it to Uganda. It just so happens that the box that was lost was the one that contained our soap, deet, Zane's Science fair project testing materials, and the peanut butter and craker that we were relying on for lunch over the next nine days!
We loaded up two buses that drove us to exchange our currency where we got a metal boot put on a tire of the bus by a man in their military for being parked for more than 15 minutes in a gas station parking lot. Once we paid to get it off, we finished the three hour ride to Arise Africa, where we are staying. Along the way, we had several kids come and ask for food/money, and got mobbed by teenagers sellinf chicken on a stick. One thing that we are trying to find out is what it means when a man winks at you three consecutive times,as this happened several times on the drive as well.
     When we arrived here at Arise Africa, we had one hour to turn around and leave for our first orphanage. The Bukaya School has about 125 students attend, so we bought enough food for every student to eat for at least three months. This school has no one supporting them, so they were very grateful. One of the kids who really touched my heart was a boy named Joey. He was about my age I would quess, and he was so sweet and caring. His five year old brother Edmond, was left for him to take care of, but not because his parent are dead. Edmond definately has a learning disability, and cannot talk. He would randomly just start crying also. Joey told me that his parents will not take care of him because of his problems, so he knew that he had to. Instead of running around with the other kids, he took care of his disabled brother, who will most likely never improve.
     I probably painted 500 nails tonight also, girls and boys. Once you would finish, they would decide that they wanted a different color and this cycle continued. Zane played soccer wit many boys, and I could tell that he really enjoyed it. We delivered the posho(the food) and were on our way!
