Trike delivered

These pictures don't have anything to do with the post, they are just miscellaneous street scenes from our neighborhood. Fresh chicken, anyone?



This is Noelle, who has done sewing for me, and her helper. Her shop is underneath a staircase.



A corner not far from where we live. Can you find the EMI sign?


We heard from Rev. David on Monday that he was able to deliver the trike to the disabled man in Ngenge. He said the man was very happy and was able to ride it fine. He was going to try to take pictures, so if he sends us some we'll post them.

We're coming down to the end of our time in Kampala and I wanted to let you know about our travel plans for coming home. We've got some fun things planned along the way. We fly out May 9 to London, then continue on the next day to Finland, where we'll see our good friends, Pauli and Tiina. We first met them when they lived in the U.S. over 20 years ago. It's been our dream for many years to see them on their side of the world. Hopefully we'll be able to see their three children as well.

On May 14th we'll fly to Providence, RI, where Paul will be delivering a paper about field trials of his invention to the World Environmental and Water Resources Congress. After that we head to Montgomery, AL, on May 21, where we'll spend the weekend with people from Christchurch, the church that was the major supporter of the work done in Ngenge. We'll fly home from there on May 24. It's coming up soon!

Originally we had planned to return home in mid-June, but we moved up our departure date to May when Paul got his paper accepted for the conference. That means we'll be arriving before OSU gets out, which means Carl and his roommates will be making space for us until the term is over. We appreciate their flexibility, and I hope to make up for it by providing some good home-cooking for them.

  1. Oops! I just skyped you about connecting while you are still in country ... um, I started with the beginning of your blog & read to present. =) I'm looking forward to hearing your stories & learning from your experiences when you get back to Corvallis.
