22/03/2011 In Kampala at the moment where it is raining, raining and raining. The traffic is totally disrupted and I just spent 2 hours in a taxi to get from one place to another, which should have taken half an hour, but we are in Africa and so it never goes as expected. A drought…

06/12/2010 After half a year (part 2) I am way behind with my updates this is from September 2010… The Dutch organisation Be More has been stationed here since last June. They work here together with 7 projects, set up by Ugandans, to which they send volunteers. When they were looking for projects I helped…

01/07/2010 Hello, everyone, So there we are again six months later. Time flies and I couldn’t bring myself to write. A lot has happened and writing is always a self-reflection but also an emotional event so it took a while, but here is a fresh update from the banana trees. The composition in the house…

23/10/2009 A smile from a child………………………………. It rains the corrugated roofs get wet. We have water again. The rain falls almost every morning with buckets from the sky, what a bliss. A refreshing shower under the gutter, all the plants green again, the dust from the roads, many puddles, a leaking roof…..so happy with rain….

20/09/2009 Hello, everyone, The dry season started a while ago and to our surprise it has even rained a few times, which is not really the intention in the DRY season. Now the rainy season should start but it only seems to get hotter. In short, no water and no refreshing shower under the broken…

16/06/2009 All people, time flies and my memory is going backwards. It has been three months since I wrote an update, so it is high time for some news from Uganda. Some of you have already been personally informed about all the adventures and events through my visit to our little frog country. How wonderful…

12/02/2009 Hello, everyone, My last report dates back to 2008, so it is high time we all knew all the ins and outs of Uganda in the sunshine. I hope that all my Christmas cards have arrived well and that everyone has had a good turn of the year. December was a busy month here…

13/11/2008 People, I am deeply ashamed, I have not made myself heard for so long. Time just flies and I have had a sort of mini-crisis with myself. I always have to be in the mood to write an update otherwise it will just be a boring and depressing story and that’s no fun at…

16/07/2008 Ojee ojee what is it again a while ago, that I have written an update, but so much happens in my life and I think it would be a bit boring after my return from the Netherlands, but in the past few months I ended up in many adventures and of course dramas again…………

23/04/2008 Hello hello, Yes, there we are again, back on the road. Yes yes everything is going slowly in Africa and I have adapted very well with this very delayed update……. Not that spectacular, actually, as far as I can remember. Nowadays there is not so much information left and I even notice that my…
