Things I would do differently...

So things are going well - but here is what I would have done different:

* I would have changed my name from Felicity to something simple like Kate or Jane, because the people here cannot say my name at all, I get everything from Feliss, Felicia, Fricks, Fely, etc..... even Flick is not good because they have trouble pronouncing Ls.

* I would have worn a fake wedding ring to avoid many many many conversation with overly eager men who want to marry a white woman to solve all their problems. My friends have had so many proposals, and its kind of bizarre.

* I would have brought clothing that I didn't mind having 20 babies vomit on, put their food covered hands all over, and leak out of their nappies onto

Hmm that's it for now, the rest has been marvellous!

The toddlers had a party to say goodbye as they move into houses with their new Mummys - it will be sad to see them go, on the other hand it will free up beds for the many new babies we recieve each week.....

Here are some more photos: First is me and Emmanuel, he is from Gulu a war torn area in the North of Uganda, and in the 4 weeks I have been here - he has not put on weight. He's been plagued by vomitting and diaroah (which I can't spell) - and has constantly been sick. He loves cuddles. He origianly tested positive for HIV, but a DNA test showed he's all clear. This week he started to get better. We're praying this continues. HE IS MY FAVOURITE!

This is Abdul wearing my hat - I may have talked about him earlier. His parents are in jail for attempting to murder him. Their last attempt being to tip acid down his throat. He is covered in cuts and burns and scars. He struggles to eat and crys a lot, but he is very cuddly and has a beautiful smile. This photo I call HOMEBOY ABDUL - I tried to get him to say YO YO YO.

This is a group photos of Nannies (employed Ugandan women who look after the children) and all the children! 86 something crying babies on the grass - was lots of fun

That's all for now. :)
