Well, we made it to Uganda! We arrived yesterday and had our orientation today. We met with the head of the I.T. Department, our new work colleagues (the development guy, the technician and the Mac guy) and a bunch of other Watoto Church staff members. Apparently, there are about 600 church staff and many people we met couldn't wait to get us to come look at their computers. It looks like the work we will be doing is mostly in coding languages and operating systems that we like and are used to, so hurray for that! Other opportunities include teaching regular classes to the older children from the children's villages, about computer stuff and where it can take them.
The place where we are staying is about 1/2 – 1 hour's drive (depending on how much "jam there is on the road" lol) to Watoto Church where we will be working. It is pretty spacious (which is very nice for us, especially considering how crowded this city/office is) and clean. We even have a shower head with hot water coming out of it (though it doesn't fit in the holder)!
We still have a few more stages of orientation to do, but we will probably make a start at the work set for us tomorrow.
We are very tired and busy getting settled in at the moment, so more updates/photos will have to follow shortly.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers. We really appreciate you!
