After 16 hours of flying, a 12 hour layover, a 3 hour drive, and some suitcase jenga we got to Jinja, Uganda.
Can 10 bags, 2 girls, and a driver all fit in a station wagon? Of course, this is Uganda!
We spend our first two nights in Uganda with a friend then we rented a car and did some shopping for essentials. With two mattresses, a mini fridge, fan, and shelves we were ready to move into the Abide compound!
It's a bit like camping right now since the plumbing isn't working (and the electricity has been coming and going too), but we're making it work. It also provides more motivation to get the compound up and running.
On Saturday we had an awesome team from University of Texas come and help us clean all the units. Now we're ready to start painting!
No running water? No problem... we can improvise.
New fun fact: we have papaya, avocado, jack fruit, and mango trees on our compound.
Hopefully we will be bringing you new photos of how the compound has progressed next week!
