Zillah (what a brilliant name!), who is on our course here at college, is going to be just up the road – well, actually about an hour up the road from where we are planning to be in Uganda, (but that’s not bad given our very rural remote location out there…) This has also motivated us to start learning the local language ‘Runyunkole’, since she has found a handy little workbook with basic phrases in. So far I think we’ve just about mastered good morning and thank you - progress is slow! The great news is though that we won’t actually have to rely on this foreign tongue the whole time, as all the lessons at the Ugandan school (NMS) are taken in English – but it will be good to communicate with the locals and get by at the market etc. So, hurrah a fellow Brit in close proximity...to share our experiences with.
