Juancho in Uganda

I am now in Jinja at Flavours cafe where the wireless internet is free. I will probably drink this coca-cola very slowly and take advantage of it. The week has been great and I was just told that I have a nice tan. We had one community meeting this week already and had 153 people attending. We have also had a couple of interviews with the community and we are very excited since we think that we can really establish a good network to distribute water treatment and mosquito nets even in more places that we needed to. We will do our first push this week and even though we haven't decided yet what we will do there are plenty of topics since malaria is rampant, water is mostly not treated and sanitation leaves a lot to be desired. This week we already found a person that will do all our food shopping for the week and have it ready for us just after our monday meeting. The food this week was very good especially the cabbage with onions and tomatos (I know... cabbage Juan???) and the posho. The last one is like arepa dough without the form, so I just added butter and ate the portions of 3 or 4 people. The Ugandan interns couldn't quite figure out why I was putting butter, but they saw my very happy face and understood. I have been playing soccer pretty much every day with the kids and I honestly think that the soccer ball will only last another week or two. They play until it is pitch black and on very uneven teams (a lot of 5 to 10 year olds against 10 older players that just push their way around). They like that I kick the ball really high and they make comments about the mzungu (hopefully they are good). I only know the name of two of the kids and they are Anton and Idi (I know!!!). Finally... There are pictures today... Enjoy them.
