After our trip to Rubondo Island Alice spent 2 weeks with us in Kagondo. She spent some time in the Care and Treatment centre and some in the Reproductive and Child Clinic. She helped sort out some details in the HIV register and made an alphabetical index of our patients, which will be very useful. Annie took her on an outreach clinic and she boldly did the registration and weighing.
We went to Bukoba for a weekend and we enjoyed the beauty of the beach at the Yasila Hotel and met up with other volunteers including a tour of Valerie’s garden.
We went up to Ndolage to see the waterfall but an intended walk along the escarpment was frustrated as there were young men stripped, washing and drying in the sun at one crossing of the river and similarly under clad women at another!
We enjoyed celebrating her Birthday. Annie cooked a Moussaka which was followed by an delicious pineapple cake. All too soon we had to leave to take her to Entebbe whence she was to fly to Addis Ababa to visit Pete then back to Australia to continue nursing at Alice Springs.

Hi Rupert and Annie
I read your blog after talking with Alan Watson last night. Please write to me to let me know more about your work at Kagondo (stepetal@yahoo.com.au). I've done 8 short trips to Katoke with Al and helped set up malaria programs and some HIV prevention. Thanks for your help these last few days.
Regards na kwaherini
