Use It & You May Lose It!


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!
