Started with a visit to the Asst. Vicar at the Cathedral in Kampala, we got the first class tour and had lunch at local hotel.
We had some shopping to do before leaving the city for the village of Kayenje. On the boring side, we bought some deep cycle batteries for the solar project, on the fun side, soccer balls and candy to make lots of friends with the children.
The drive to the village was an adventure as the roads changed from paved highway to wide dirt road to single track dirt road we knew we were getting closer. Pulling into the village, we saw the church, new convent, visitor center, and school. Dr. Benitez jumped out of the car in excitement to inspect the progress of the buildings.
The Visitors Center was complete and beautiful. The convent still needs more work, but the progress made Father and Dr. B very happy!
Finished the day at Fr. Lawrence's family home in the village. He has brought civilization to the jungle with a flushing porcelain toilet, solar powered light, and more family members to name. He is the MAN
