It is officially happening...

After many years of hearing talk about MAF Uganda moving their office to the airfield at Kajjansi it is hard to believe it is actually happening.  It will be a joint effort with eMi  (www.emiworld.org).  We will be sharing the office with eMi and they are also the ones doing the construction.  It has been a lot of work for both organisations to get to this stage but we are grateful for their perseverance.

Yesterday Simon and I, with Joshua and Zara,  went out to Kajjansi for a picnic.   It was fun to play frisbee together, throw stones for Chewy (our dog) in the water and go for a walk along the airstrip.  The sun was shining and it was good to be out in the open.

We also got to see the work that has been started for the new Office with Drainage pipes being installed.  Wow, it is actually happening.  At the moment everyone is crammed in our little office opposite our house.  I just heard the other day that we are up to about 70 staff, including national and international, in this programme by the time everyone arrives (we have new families still arriving).  Our programme is growing bigger and bigger.  Anyway below are some photos I took yesterday of the ground work that is being done.  Thanks to all who are involved in making it all work.

Drainage pipes have been laid and the preparation work is ongoing.  In the background you can see our newly built hangar (well it is still new to us)
