Being my sisters shadow.....

Mid June meant a short visit to see Kaylin and her world in Masaka was due! In only 5 short days I got a glimpse into her part of Africa that she has come to love. Meeting the people who have inspired her, and the girls she is living and experiencing African Firsts together with, and a chance to go to her practicum sit and play with the kids. I was her shadow for 5 days. As an older sister I am much more use to Kaylin being my shadow, but these 5 short days were a chance to see her as a young woman on an adventure, learning and living in Africa.

Enjoy the photos that follow, I will let them tell our story this time.

View from the Car window driving from Entebbe Airport
to Masaka. First thing i noticed was the Red Dirt

Thursday afternoon we rode around on Boda's (motorcycles)
and visited Boys who the girls had sponsored through a
local Orphanage to attend school. 

Our Boda Drivers

At each school we visited, the boys were so happy to see the girls
and show them there school work. The boys call all the girl
Aunty, out of respect and love for the opportunity to be supported.

Our last stop was at the Boys Orphanage to meet the Boy Kaylin has
sponsored to go to school to become a Mechanic. 

Meet Uganda (that is his nickname). One day he is going to open
up his own car garage! 

The baby home is where Kaylin has been spending her last five weeks
of her practicum. Caring for the babies and playing with the older kids. 

Isaac and Harvey met for the first time, our travel buddies!

Isaac remembers the red dust from Tanzania, A lot of Uganda reminds us of
our time in Tanzania. Funny that only now am I releasing that
Ethiopia is more Northern African then Eastern. 

Easy to find ones way around Masaka, it does help that
its in a circle! 

The Juices in Uganda were worth another visit for. Fresh fruit
and beautiful scenery made for easy meals. 

Enjoyed the time at the Banda's Where Kaylin
and her classmates have called home for their 10 weeks.

African Rain, Flip Flops and matching pants
Sad good byes at the Airport. 

If you look at half of one photo, and the other half of the other photo it equals a good Full photo!
