Below is a photo many of you will know from the classic
early 90s film, Home Alone. The question is, how do you elicit such a face from
a child in Uganda, where having to deal with cack-handed and rather dim witted
robbers is fairly common-place!
The answer is - send them to one of Dr. Sarah’s sessions on
the dangers of S.T.Is!
This week saw Dr. Sarah putting her communication skills
into practice by teaching all the White Eagles about the delights of infections
ranging from Herpes to HIV!
Of particular effect, was Dr. Sarah’s vast array of
carefully selected photographic evidence which elicited such responses as:
“Aaaayyyeeee!!! Eh eh eh – can you imagine the state of his
little man, will it still work or will it drop off!??”
In the case of Donavonosis, whose side effects include auto
amputation (feel free to Google pictures for yourselves), the answer was quite
literally, yes it might indeed fall off, which of course was followed by many
more screams, squawks and exclamations in Luganda like “Mama Wange! Mukama
Sasira!” (Literal translation – “Mother of mine! Lord have mercy!”)
Altogether a successful session, and it certainly will have
helped our kids some way towards reaffirming their commitment to abstinence
before marriage!
AND FINALLY…..
We want to take this opportunity to
introduce a new section of our blog called.....
BARMY BODAS!
Boda Bodas are Uganda’s
motorcycle taxis, and it never ceases to amaze us the crazy things you find
them loaded up with, and the complete disregard they have for any sort of road
safety!
Feel free to give us your own caption, todays instalment is below! Enjoy!
