Last day

A lady organising her oranges for sale
Today (Friday 3rd December) is my last day in Uganda and I woke with more mixed feelings.

I felt excited at the prospect of going home and seeing friends and also a white Christmas, but felt sad at the thought of saying goodbye to my new friends and the community centred lifestyle I was living.

The first night I arrived I tried to wish away the whole 3 weeks looking out into the rain, flooding and darkness, but since have seen those weeks fly by filled with great memories and a growing urge to return.

This afternoon we are heading to 'Graceland' for a goodbye meal.

Potter's Village is a crisis center for children situated near the Rwandan and Congo borders. This project is all about them and their welfare, so I thought I'd finish on a few pictures of them from my time here.
