Day 2

An interesting and unexpected day today. So far our permission letters for entry into the prisons have not arrived (which is very disappointing but very typical) so we have had another day of relaxation! We went, with our driver, Robert and with the admin assistant, Rebecca, to the Botanical Gardens in Entebbe. Its truly beautiful there.

We met another good friend (0nly one day old and so so cute). So for those of you still awaiting appointments at specsavers (!) this is a baby monkey in his mummy's pouch - ahhhhhh!

We met another, not so cuddly, friend.

Spent some time beside Lake Victoria

but we definitely didn't go to the toilet

Nice eh!

We have chatted with Glorious (wonderful name), who is the prison librarian about what we can do to support her while we are here and tomorrow we will be lunching with the Rev'd Fred, who is the Prisons Chaplain, to discuss spiritual health and how it can be improved for people in prison. For people who are in such a desperate situation with very little hope, spiritual health is vitally important. This is the first part of our remit for our stay and out of it, we hope to be able to influence some of the support that the prisoners receive. So we are excited about tomorrows discussions.

Take care everyone. We are thinking of you all and appreciate your thoughts and prayers too.

With love
Catherine and Christopher xx
