A group of us made a day trip on Sunday to visit Bwindi Community Hospital which is quite remote and very close to the location of some of the groups of gorillas. It took us about 3 hours with breaks to reach Bwindi but we had a very warm welcome from the staff.
One reason for the trip was to visit a former member of our nurse training school now working in the hospital in Bwindi who unfortunately was burnt by a paraffin stove and is in the ward having treatment. She was much encouraged by the group.
We enjoyed the tour of the hospital and time to catch up a bit with Kieran & Sarah, two UK doctors we had met before they came out to Uganda when they did the Developing Health course with us.
On the way back we kept watching the sky which was rather cloudy but happily it cleared a bit and we were able to see a partial solar eclipse. Once more it makes us marvel as we enjoy the heavens...
