a great day for uganda!!

today was a great day for uganda - a guy called stephen kiprotich won the marathon at the olympics! it was the first medal for uganda - so i feel a bit like "my country" has won a medal today! well done and regards to all my friends in uganda!!!
all i followed from the olympics was the sailing of the 49er... unfortunately it was not meant to be this time, nickos... but rio is coming, i hope you can keep your energy and motivation up for another four years?! anyways, becoming 4th is pretty amazing! congratulations for that - if you ever happen to read that!

see some pictures from the last weeks!

some weeks ago i went to visit a different orphanage.
the responsible guy with some of the kids

its raining now almost every day

some years ago it was a school - from where the other orphanage started

now we have water everywhere - and its so green!
 the bewitched man i told you about, was brought to hospital with our car. here you see his family preparing for the journey to tamale, 120 km to the south
preparing

winter in my fridge!!

we gave some clothes we do not need to the poorest of the community
 as i said its still reiny season, which is nice because the air is clean, its cold, and its green. one of the disadvantages of the heavy rain is that all streets get spoilt. have a look your self
no more road for cars

this village you can reach by foot, with bike or motorbike...thats it!

a chameleon

andarea, the volunteer that stayed longest...but also left already
 last week the last 2 volunteers left, soon some other white people are going to come here. but its also really fine as it is now
many times i am amazed by the trees!!
like here again!
 its rainy season - meaning its farming season. we also have a farm, where we are farming maize and beans. our children help on the farm - because thats actually the reason we have it. the children should be prepared for their life like if they would live with their families...and with the families they would spend a lot of time on the farm -and learn a lot. we hope our children will get the same knowledge in the future!
some of our children
 a big thing in the past weeks was to renovate  room, so that it can become my office. we finished last week, and now i have my own office! and can recieve guests officially! so you are welcome...!
putting some certificates of the NGO onto my wall.
hope you are all doing well, have a nice sunday,
