Have a good time, be safe.
So far, an eventful journey then :) Lisa, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to balance on 1 leg whilst 1 finger on your nose and a book on your head, get a photograph of this. This message will not self destruct. Stay safe mate, have a cracking time. Andy

kenya
I have really liked the way your blog promotes Kenya. Kenya offers travellers an unparalleled range of options. The incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures, wildlife and activities mean endless opportunities. With so many choices at hand, some people find the prospect of planning a trip quite daunting. It doesn’t have to be that way. That's why me being a Kenyan I have decided to open a tour firm. http://www.milleniumafricansafaris.com

Street Kids
Thanks for sharing about your experience of seeing street kids in Kampala. It is indeed a horrific image and a national and international tragedy. You are right in cautioning people not to give money to these children. Unfortuantely some legitimately beg to survive however others are exploited by adults, sometimes their own parents as you pointed out, and even by other children. There are many fantastic charities working in Uganda with street kids. I'm involved with one called Dwelling Places - www.dwellingplaces.org They have a fantastic 4 step approach to their work with street kids; rescue from the streets, rehabilitation, reconciliation with parents and resettlement with their parents or family members if possible, or into foster care. They also do a lot of advocacy work, at government level as well as with communities in the hope of raising awareness of the issues and helping Ugandans to tackle these head on. Thanks, Gillian

Nostalgia!
The school hall was completed round about the time I was in class 1; 1986, just in case it interests your dad to know. Seeing the photos reminds me a lot about the school, probably different from when your dad was there. They still had the hymns sung on most mornings in the '90s, the best swimming pool at the time and French classes by one popular 'Mr. Tom' for only class 3 students. Well, I've come to learn that he offered these classes to almost all public primary schools in Nairobi. :D Wonder what it was like in your dad's days; could he blog back?

Unique Country - unique people
I am actually having a huge laugh reading your blog. It's not surprising because we are talking about Nigeria. For this particular reason i feel in love with the place. Did you check out any other places apart from Lagos? Are you training Nigerian First aid?. although i haven't visited in about 3 years i still call Nigeria once a month to check up on my friend there. Wonderful people, you will have a wild and exciting time there.
