So today marks the halfway point of our journey, the time is flying as Ruby and I only have two more weeks here in Uganda. This past weekend we made the long journey to Queen Elizabeth Park for an amazing Safari. Luck was on our side as we had the opportunity to see baboons, elephants, Ugandan Kob, waterbuck, buffalo, Nile crocodiles, warthogs, hippos and a whole bunch of beautiful birds we can't remember the names of! The 8 hour drive (that's right, 8 hours) was unforgettable. This country is stunning. We saw lush fields of tea, thousands of banana trees, misty mountains and beautiful people dressed in vibrant colours. It was nice to head out of the city and experience another side of life in Uganda. We arrived at the Chez Johnson yesterday evening, excited to see Judy and Bob, and even more excited to see the children!
Today was a big day for everyone - our first full day of school! We arrived at the In Need Home at 7:45am and were surprised to see that almost all of the children were already there! It was a very special day in that today was the first time the children were served a full meal! As you can imagine, they were ecstatic! It was a very full day, not to mention hectic - looks like the new schedule will take some getting used to (by all of us!), but we're happy and looking forward to spending as much time as we can with the kids!
Lots of Love,
Kavita and Ruby :)

Hi Rubes. So you just got back from your African Safari. Amazing. Something I've always dreamed of doing as I'm sure you can imagine. The animals sound incerdible, there better have been some great picture snapping. I cannot wait to hear all about it. It sounds like you are happy to be back with the little ones, keep enjoying every second! Love you XXX
