A flavour of our neighbourhood - Ntinda

Hopefully these photographs will provide a bit of a flavour of the neighbourhood where we are living - we are just getting to know it and the pictures were taken during a Sunday strollA view of one of the many hills in Kampala
In the bottom left-hand corner of this photograph you can just see a bright blue roof - the angle of this roof is pointing to the balcony of our flat
This is Annette with her daughter Joy - Annette's Partner Edward is the caretaker of our flats
Joyful Joy!
The main road that runs through our neighbourhood - in the foreground is one of the white minibus taxis licensed to carry 14 passengers - the cheapest form of public transport
A mural decorating the wall of one of several primary schools / nurseries in the neighbourhood
What a paint job! - a parade of small shops on the main road
A little local cafe on a side road near our flat - shame it was closed when we passed
Mum's got left behind here - this family is walking up the quite steep lane beside our flats

  1. Lovely to hear what you've been up to and see pics of the locality.
    Sounds like you're settling in well but that's what I 'd have expected!!!!
    Missing you as neighbours- only met one of our new neighbours up to press- Merlin barks at him all the time- obviously knows its not you!

Ian will be working as a volunteer with VSO and he's set a fund raising target of £1,000 to be reached before setting off. Money raised will go to support VSO's most pressing needs - it won't be used to fund Ian's placement.
