It has been a while since I have updated our blog. We have been on three weeks leave and travelled to Dubai to visit some friends. It was a fantastic holiday and I will upload some photos sometime this week. We just arrived back in Uganda yesterday so still trying to get readjusted to "normal" life again. We really appreciated the break we had and also catching up with old friends and making new ones.
Many of you will have probably heard on the bombings in Kampala which happened on the final of the world cup. Thankfully none of our staff were hurt in the blasts although one relative of a staff member was killed along with at least one friend of a staff member. Since arriving back in Uganda we have noticed a tightning up of security with cars being checked at the entrance to shops aswell as our bags being checked. This is also due to the African Union conference which is taking place this week in Kampala.
We have been asked to avoid busy places or any public gatherings until further notice. MAF Uganda continues to monitor the situation on a regular basis and keeps us up to date with what is happening. We are just being careful as to where we go shopping etc. Churches are also considered targets depending on their location and up till now it has been requested that people find an alternative church to attend during this time or stay at home. We will see what is advised this week.
