burned again! ... and the work we're doing.

---

Yikes, people. Last night, I was at first brilliant, figuring out that I could get the very sticky jack fruit residue off of our knife by running the blade through the flame of the stove (the gunk has been on said knife since my parents were in Mbale - 2-3 weeks!)! You know where this is going... Yay, I'm so smart!

Okay, 10 seconds later, I become the stupidest person in all of Uganda, when I proceed to my next task - chopping garlic - by squashing a garlic clove with my hand.... on the VERY HOT KNIFE. Isn't that brilliant? So, now my hand is burned and blistered.

Besides this news, we had our very last food distributions last week. In turn, the clients of Mbale and Tororo had their last food distributions... in the foreseeable future. This is sad, and many have said, "without this food, we will die!". Still, I am hopefull that they will find ways to cope.

Clients receive food in groups, then divide it among themselves.

Suzy's friends called while we were on the back of the truck... very loud!!

Because of the language barrier, our "work" at the FDPs is sometimes a nice break.
