Today I packed and taught first aid, before we left for Entebbe in the afternoon.
Teaching was even better today although the questions were brutal. One girl asked, "How does dipping cuts in kerosene kill infection?" When I answered that I had never heard of kerosene being used as an antiseptic, she asked, "Well how do the ones in America work?" Yep, hard questions, especially when explaining it to an eight year old. The school we visited was without power, so we had to do the presentation by memory. Moses and I also didn't have the intrigue factor that my computer had supplied the day before, so we had to involve the kids more. Anyway, great time.
We had an extremely aggressive driver take us to the airport, and that's saying something for Uganda. He weaved through the city, passing the never ending "jam" on Kampala's main road. Great guy though. He wants our family to eat dinner at his house when we return in January/February.
Right when we passed airport security it became apparent that we were back into westernized society. Sketchy/materialistic ads were plastering the airport shops, things that are impossible to find elsewhere in Uganda. That was a little depressing.
