Ugandan Volunteers arrive
Our team of Ugandan volunteers arrived today on Monday 12th July, with 4 more arriving on 13th.
All of the volunteers, Dani, Natalie, Vicki, Anna, Heidi, Becki, Catherine, Kajsa, Krupa, Laura and Fiona arrived on 12th and Jiahann, Theodora, Kathryn and Nicola arriving 13th.
They have all settled well into their bandas, which is the accommodation they will be staying in for the next few weeks. They were able to have a look around the wildlife centre which we are staying in, and even said hello to a giraffe who is in an enclosure next to where we are staying, I think he will be a great neighbour to have!
This evening we have all been for a meal at a restaurant a few minutes away and are looking forward to the day tomorrow (13th) where we will begin inductions and introducing the start of the project.
A few creepy crawlies here and there made the evening particularly funny, with Heidi and Dani jumping out of their seats when a small spider was making its way across the table!
We met some lovely waiters and the security guards where we are staying were happy to meet all of our Yebo volunteers.

What a lovely photo 🙂 it’s great to see Anna smiling – she obviously hasn’t seen the spider yet!! I hope everyone has a fantastic experience.
