Liam and Sam

Sam and Me

This wonderful picture was taken on the gorgeous beach just 5 minutes away from the Project Trust centre in Coll. The taller of the two is me (Liam) and the energetic fellow in the little yellow number is Sam, who will be my partner for the whole year. A wise Project trust volunteer once said "A Project Trust partnership is like a marrage, but without the sex", so I am looking forward to the times when Sam and I sit down with a meal for two (consisting of beans, beans and more beans) to enjoy a glorious 2 second sunset in the rolling hills of Kabale.

I am also looking forward to the difficult times as well; the arguments, the tears and the fighting over who has the last of the bean stew. We will have to learn how to help each other (or put up with each other), making us better people overall!

We hope to see many wonderful things in Uganda (Gorilla tracking in Bwindi National Park) and doing even more exciting things (White-water rafting down the Nile river). More importantly I am looking forward to contributing to this wonderful charity by teaching the children at the primary school and getting my hands dirty on the farm.  I'll keep you informed about every adventure we have together, along with the heart aches and disagreements.

Stay tuned and  keep reading
