Welcome to Team Muzungu

Hi everyone! This is the first of a short series of updates from the Bangor team working in Kampala with 'Fields of Life'.

This adventure started with SMunday, the longest day of this year to date. It started with some amateurish (although successful!) smuggling through Heathrow airport. It was good to meet with a like minded bunch of FoL'ers in Heathrow (with possibly even cooler T-shirts than ours), resulting in one of the most Christian flights in a while! It was during the flight that we discovered Batman & Robin were members of our team - it's good to have a couple of super heroes on the team (photo to follow!).

Later on SMunday, we arrived in Kampala airport where we were whisked (also shaken and stirred) at speed across Kampala - a city of enormous variety of sights and smells! Jonny excelled himself by getting 3 mosquito bites before even leaving the airport!

Our accommodation is great with a beautiful view across green and rolling hills (much like home really!). We got some money changed, ate food and slept....at last.

Tuesday saw us painting Kiti (pronunced Chitty!) primary school - we are redecorating the staff accommodation block, home to 6 of the staff. Thus far no-one has succumbed to malaria, although the team are having difficulty remembering to take their medication.

We'll try and upload a few pics soon.

Best wishes,

Team Muzungu
