But Hoima had no water supply for the days that we were there. When we got thirsty we found this pub operating despite the power black-out. The favorite drink of my colleagues was beer mixed with Coca-Cola. I'll go for rum and coke anytime.
Swarms of grasshoppers were in the air. They were even inside my hotel room. People catch and sell them, later to be fried as a delicacy. Trust me, when cooked, they look like fried shrimps; delicious.
Snakes make their
appearance too.
Ant hills almost as tall as a bungalow are a common sight.
Trees such as these are almost everywhere. Those balls are not Christmas lights. They are the elaborately woven nests of the weaver bird.
The health care center of this settlement area was the beneficiary of our IVD volunteer work.
It's not all pants and t-shirts for volunteers. At the evening reception, we managed to unroll some decent attire from our rucksacks.
Happy New Year. May yours be what you wish for.
Happy new beginnings Eve. Take care always... V
