UgandAshis 60: Home again

UgandAshis 60: Home again.

Bruno and Yogi my German/Belgian shepherds are roaming through the garden and digging holes. What happened in my absence in the house well Bruno got wounded by a slashing machete and 3 weeks later still has a gaping bone deep wound on his leg. Snakes seem to love it here to. Two cobra's showed up and are no longer with us. Black kite did not take care of it this time but our guard Kenneth did.

Uganda seems to have cooled a bit after the riots in Kampala over a month ago. Yet it is clear that the Buganda are very unhappy with the treatment of their king (kabaka) by the president of the republic. And nothing has changed; from the moment of entry I tourist visum was issued despite my papers for a working visa. Now we have to foolow the line (big fish) to correct that status quo.

It may have been nice of me to have bought a SNow Leopard run Macbook Pro. The problem is the software of the telephone company does not support my sweet Mac. Frustrating and at the same time it may lead in to applying for a proper broad band connection. At the end of the day it is impossible to use Skype here for talking online.

There is some other hardware that will be instrumental: a HD Flipcamera and perhaps, if I find an affordable one a projector. All these goodies may seem slightly expensive and the whole isea is to run several programs from the beginning for 2010:

1. TEDx conference
2. Mini documentary on You tube on HIV/AIDS
3. A mobile health clinic in Bundibuyo

Let us pray for money. Number 1 and 2 are affordable and it seems proposal 3 may get axed. My friends have been around and to qoute Romeo Dallaire: 'Where there is a will there is a way. Let us roll.

And about the past tour of the USA you can read the next post.

Namaskar,
