Well this last week was exciting and full of different experiences.

Here in Uganda it is tradition to introduce your husband/wife to be to your parents and family. It's called a kwanjula. The whole village shows up for the party and free food. It just so happens that one of the mamas (who has been married for a year and a half) didn't have a kwanjula before the wedding. So last Saturday All the muzungos (white people) from amani were asked to come and celebrate with them. Out to the village we went in a huge bus called a coaster.

We arrived and one of the other volunteers and I wanted to wear a Gomez (a traditional dress) We looked hilarious and of course I have pictures to show. They dressed us and then told us that we would be a part of the "ceremony". We ended up walking out with the "sisters" of Lois to greet the groom and his family. Then we went back in and came out when Lois was introduced. This whole time we were supposed to shuffle our feet and sway our hips. :) It was so funny I think I must have been laughing the whole time. I know that's hard for some of you to picture. ;)

We ate lots of food and listened to lots of Luganda. It was a fun Saturday out.

The rest of the week went well with nothing special to report.

Bye for now :)
