Group Thoughts In UgandaSome thoughts from the Testbourne Team 2008, shared at one group session just before leaving Mityana When I think of Mityana I mostly think of ------- My buddy and the great friendship we developed over 9 days The amazing singing, dancing and drumming The warm welcome everywhere The experiences that we have all shared The joy of the mothers in the maternity unit at giving birth (successfully) and their pride in their new babies The roads, the shops and the houses that we see every day and just how different they are from what we are used to How happy the little children are although they have so little The way they play football, barefoot, jumping over cow-pats and with no real idea of tactics, but such fun The delight at coming back and renewing old friendships and making new ones The mosquito bites! Enjoying myself so much that I forgot to take photographs The shock when I saw inside the hospital The reaction of children everywhere when they saw us How I felt when my buddy gave me a gift The special atmosphere in everything we have done in Mityana The church service – it was so alive, so buzzy, so focused Our group here at the Enro Hotel when we have shared our thoughts in the evening sessions The smiles Reading my buddy’s letter to me over and over before I came out to Uganda Actually meeting my buddy for the first time The wonderful greeting and enthusiasm from the children when we visited Bulera; would it be the same if they came to Testbourne? What we have done as a group; what we have achieved Being in Africa with a group of teenagers, doing what you have done, taking on board all that you have, growing up the way you have
