Uganda Part 2

In two days I've had a baby and got married to a guy I'd only known for an hour (all pretend of course, I'm not a super woman). The locals demonstrated what you would need to do to prove you're ready to get married.

I wanted to experience everything they had to offer. I prepared food (picking, peeling, grinding etc), cooked, looked after the children, made rugs (women need to have hand made eight), sold produce at market, learnt to balance basket of Yams on my head (didn't drop any), danced and got married to a very muscly handsome man (unfortunately it wasn't legally binding) then we partied!

The children;

I love the children of Africa. Polite, grateful, humble, hard-working, talented and beautiful, unspoilt souls. You'd learn so much from people here. Time, love and discipline are the main values. These children have many things to feel 'damaged' or hurt for but the simple fact is they are here in the now playing, being happy and treated like the normal children they are. Some see that they have nothing, but they'll show you that this is everything!

Some come to Africa for a holiday, but you'll leave this life-changing journey, realising it's changed your life, heart and soul.
