On Friday, Gabriella and Anbar visited Mbale for the weekend to stay with Gabriella’s family friend, Samson Womani, who is the doctor for the village. Samson invited them to celebrate Shavuot (a Jewish holiday) with him and his family. They were really excited to see the Ugandan Jewish community and visit another district in Uganda. Diana and I (Regine) were not feeling well earlier in the week and decided to stay back to recuperate. We made the most of our recovery and had a relaxing time; Diana made juice with Maama Faith and I cooked fried french beans and fresh beans for the family for lunch! We have both decided to keep those recipes and replicate meals for our families back in the USA.
This weekend was undoubtedly a great cultural experience for both sets of the team and we were united once again on Sunday!
Love always,
Regine (Team Leader)
