This is Taz and Grace telling you about how first day went! @4 hours travel including 2 flights and a kip on a hard terminal floor.. After us all arriving at the airport we checked in and were all really exited. We were amazed by the standard of the first night flight; we were set up with a TV, phone charger and food! Fortunately, most of us had a nap on the plane. We arrived at Ethiopia airport at 6:30am on the dot- we were all tired but we were excited being one step closer to Uganda. When we finally got to Uganda we met up with CRED’s partners in Uganda and made are way to our home for the next 7 days. Whilst travelling through the city we saw a glimpse of what Uganda is really like, we were particularly surprised at the lack of driving rules! This evening, we have rested and eaten a home cooked meal together. We are all getting on really well and are settled into confortable rooms with our roommates for this week. We have now given in our phones in order to help us live in the moment and fully commit to life in Uganda. Tomorrow we are all excited to get dressed up for church, visit the medical center and start preparing for teaching Monday, we will let you know how these experiences are tomorrow evening.
Night all, from all of us in Uganda.
Wonderful to hear from you! ….FANTASTIC photos! Thank you!….. So pleased you are all settled in your rooms!

Hey there my JimJam.
So glad you arrived safe, hopefully nobody’s luggage got lost or zips split open due to too many goodies being rammed in at last minute! I’m sorry sweetheart, hope you’ve managed to find all your own clothes etc now.
Luna is fine, a little bemused perhaps, but she’s getting plenty attention from us all. Jallee’s fine too!
MALARIA TABLET!!!
It seems ages until you’re going to be home, but in the span of our lives it’s really just a blink of an eye.
The difference you will all make over there in that short time is vast.
So, have a cry now cos we love and miss each other so much, then go for it girl!
Give it all your Tigger bounce and love.
Stay safe all my beautiful Baby basketball bears, (past, present and injured!)
So much love to you, being sent via the rays of the moon and sun.
Be true to yourselves.
Huge thanks to all the leaders keeping you safe, esp Peachy and Mel, and to John and Sophie for feeding and homing you.
Big love and hugs Mama Jules, Papa Lee Lee, Jallee, Jess Jess and the meow bags!
