An overdue update...Lira, Kitintale, Jinja

So i want to apologize for not writing anything for a long time. This one isn't going to be a long one but i just wanted to give an update. On my way to Lira to visit Bosco's village, my camera was stolen. Luckily we have theft insurance to cover it, but it's just kind of unfortunate because I don't have a camera to take pictures right now. It's okay though! I'm thinking about getting a cheap cheap cheap camera or something. I'm not sure. Anyways. That trip was really good! You can read about it on Will's blog.

Kitintale Skate Competition- The competition was scheduled for the 19th. The night before, I called to confirm that everything was set with Jackson. He was very upset. His contact from Mountain Dew, who was supposed to bring the tent, chairs, sound system, etc., would not answer his phone and could not be reached. So i went in the morning anyways just to see what was going to happen. I got there, and all the kids were really upset because the Mountain Dew guy didn't pull through. I told them that i had access to a PA system if they still wanted to have some sort of event. They really liked that idea. So I was able to go back and get all the stuff. It ended up going really well. We played some music really loud and just had a good time. Each kid was announced and given the chance to show off their skills. They were happy.
...But good news. Mountain Dew contacted Jackson, and apologized. The official big event is now resheduled for this Sunday!!

White Water Rafting in Jinja - So we woke up at 6 this morning and headed out to Jinja. It was really crazy! I hope to post a clip of the video that we bought from the company of us rafting to tell most of the story. It was really tiring! and at some point, each one of us thought that we were going to die. At the end we were going through a Class 5 rapid and ended up flipping. Everyone has their own story about what happened to them on it. I went under for a very long time! I was definitely out of breath and was lucky to come up when i did. But i'm sure it just seemed like a long time. I can't wait to see the video. It was pretty insane.
On a sad note, I didn't get to bungee jump. They require at least two people to do it, in order for the bungee guy to come out there and set it up. Oh well. I might be able to head out there before we leave and get a quick jump!
