** The first two weeks of Feb. **

Workwise I'm finishing another project called "Music for Life". They take children who are disadvantaged, orphaned or in poverty etc. and take them through school. Some of them, they teach into a choir and take them around the world. Apparently they are coming to Brisbane later this year. They have been a bit cramped at their current spot (a several story structure in Kampala). They are moving to a new site near Entebbe, so we are designing all the buildings/utilities etc. for them.

The weekends are a good chance to get involved with lots of things. I'm still just forming relationships. I will be playing soccer at an international school each Friday, I'm making some friends there. I also went to a baptism service for ~50 people, held on the shores of Lake Victoria. I have been to a few nearby churches, I plan to go another local church with a Ugandan friend David on Sunday. There are many ways you can be helpful over here, including little things such as tutoring someone or having a bible study. I went and played some games with kids at a local house today. They live close by and also attend the local church so I can imagine popping in there a bit.
