Lukaya, Day 1

Featured: Drinking Water from a plastic bag though a straw. Kyeynne Sulaiman, an local man helping to manufacture the ISSB bricks for MSA.

an early 8:00 meeting time at the Basmilla lodge with David Bakeine. I ordered Black Tea (Chai Mukalu). no bread, I want to conserve my money because i only have a small (for me) amount of shillings on me. Got to eat davids' cold fried flat bread (chapati). So not waste-stream but left-over, that he didn't want, on the first day in Lukaya, first meal. who would have thought!

on school break, around 10:30 am, was able to join a few teachers for Rwenzori chai and Lindazi, a kind of quick bread. We used a small package that may have included about 10 servings of tea. It was finely ground, acting like instant tea.

I walking away from the campus, when Augustine, guard for the Mustard Seed Academy school, passed me on a bike. he was going very very very slowly. He was caring two large buckets of food from Uganda Campus to American Campus. I was intrigued on the process so i turned and followed with my camera. (as if i was chasing a very slow wild beast) the kids ate Posso, a type of cooked corn meal mush, Ebejanjerro (beans) and Nsenene (fried grasshoppers), what a treat. My meal was the same, but replaced posse with Metoke (cooked banana). full plate.

Picked up a pineapple, passion fruit, and some tomatoes at the market in the morning. The Pineapple i took to the Bissmilla to share with our friends Alice, Fanny, and Angie. Their cousin Franki no longer stays there, he is in a town called Lyantonde near Masaka. good times had for all. david, and Derek joined us as well.

Fried corn. popcorn, without the happy ending.
