Surprise surprise we started today at 6.30 so a bit of a lie
in!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first stop was at the KCCA (Kampala City Centre
Authority) offices as seems to be common reoccurrence to be introduced to the
leaders of any area.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First stop was to Kwampe slum area;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The scenes we found were moving on a massive scale, with
people here are living in absolute squalor. It became too much after seeing
children as young as 2 and 3 building dams in the water running through the
area, this was nothing better than sewer water and reminded me of my own
children building dams at the beach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The problems in this area are massive, no clean water, no
drainage system and living in absolute poverty. Words cannot describe just how
bad this place really is!!<o:p></o:p></div>

The reoccurring problem is the flooding every time there is
a drop of rain the water from the surrounding hills floods the whole area, peoples
houses, walkways and the few toilets which are located here. This leads to cross
contamination of sewerage and drinking water as all the fresh water is from natural
springs. The water is not very clean at the best of times but this situation is
exasperated when it floods. The floods are not the same as the flooding which
occurs in England as this is a daily occurrence in the rainy season.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today we have visited an after intervention village, our hosts
today were David and Sabina who are sister that they live with their elderly
mother.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WOW what a difference!!!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The time created by not needing to collect water is amazing,
previously it would have taken 6 to 7 hours to collect water, now it only takes
½ an hour!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You only have to look at their land to see the difference,
everything is well maintained were as the previous days village was very
overgrown and not well maintained at all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This gives the people of the village a real chance to not
only provide food for themselves but also to have enough to sell and also sell
the seeds.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The family we visited stored the extra for a rainy day, a
trip to the doctor, school bills ……….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The activities we were involved in today were;<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b>The surprising fact
of the day </b>was the sustainability of these developments, once a well is
installed an operation and maintenance committee is formed and they decide how
much too charge each house hold in the district to use the well in order too
cover any breakdowns and maintenance. After a year or so if the money is not
spent it can be loaned to other communities and charge interest, this creates a
revenue for the community for future developments.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ploughing the field (with an ox and steel plough)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tilling the field with hoes and hands (weeding the bean
field)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fetching the well water only half a kilometre and believe me
20 ltrs over this distance I 35 deg heat on your head is very tiring, the
drinking water well was 3km away and luckily they had enough already for the
day(not used for drinking only bathing and washing dishes)<o:p></o:p><br />

Sweeping the yard sounds easy, but first I had to go to the
bushes to collect more braches to make the broom, then a good hour of sweeping
in the hot sun!!<o:p></o:p></div>

Luckily now it was time to prepare dinner and apparently the
men sit and talk while the women prepare and cook and todays speciality was
freshly slaughtered chicken (normally meat would only be eaten once a week on a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Today I attended the first of two briefings about the
upcoming WaterAid trip to Uganda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">This was a thoroughly enjoyable day which consisted of;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">· Getting to
know the other supporters<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">· Giving a
flavour of what to expect on the visit<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">· Guidance on
local customs (what to do and what not to do)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">· What plans
have been made for while we are in the country<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">At the end of the briefing we were asked what pledges or
commitments we would make and undertake on our return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br></div>
<span style="color: black;"></span><br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">This is a very interesting yet difficult question to answer
and my only thought was to raise awareness of what goes on, when I return. A
little pathetic I know, but this is as honest as possible!!</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">On the train on the way home I started to think more deeply
and more importantly panic, that this was not enough, so decided to start the
work early and try and arrange some talks for my return. Since then I have
tentatively arrange a talk at my local primary school and one for the WI.</span></div>
