heading to the airport in a few hours

it’s been a great experience for all - with many surprises along the way

...

and God is good

...

we have an extended layover in London - and are expected to be back in Regina at 12:30am on Thursday (pretty much Wednesday night)

update and video post from Donalda

our time in Uganda is wrapping up very quickly, as we fly out late Tuesday night Uganda time

last night, we took in a cultural show - definitely a highlight for many team members

today, we took part in a church conference in Kampala with a few members presenting (with interpreter and all) - Randy Schmor from the NAB even popped over from Cameroon to join us

it has been quite the experience and we have many stories to tell

I hope this blog has been a little helpful for you to keep track of where we’ve been and what we’ve been doing

there is so much more to write and share

but we’ll see y’all in a few more days

update and video post from Tim Reimer

so, we made it back to Kampala after a very long drive

the differences between Kampala and Gulu are striking

we did some market shopping yesterday and did some village touring today


enjoyed a lunch in homes in this aft and were able to visit the classrooms we had built 2 years ago - still standing!

safari day

we have been so blessed and so pampered

went for our early morning game drive - we were met by numerous elephants - video to come

chanced to see a lioness creepying after her prey and a couple young cubs of hers

giraffes, more hippos, and lots of others

we took our japanese mini-van - it's roof opens up and you can sit on top as well as one of the Lodge's Land Cruisers

...

spent our afternoon by the pool and then back out for an evening drive seeing more nature - what a beautiful place this country is

a full day

so we left Gulu and said our goodbyes (some tearful) to our new friends

we began to make our way to Paraa Safari Lodge

let me list a few things that happened on our way:

- came across an elephant that poachers had shot 3 days prior and many people were still hacking off meat and bone - delicious?

- our bus broke down and we crammed in to our luggage van while some sat on the side of the hot, Ugandan road

- we saw elephants meandering through the country-side

...

when we finally arrived at our destination - we sat down for a quick lunch before heading out on a 3 hour Nile Cruise - seeing many elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many other creatures

tomorrow, we are up early for our 6am game drive in the park - hoping to see many more nocturnal animals
