Chichio picked us up from Athina Guest House to find an ATM machine to extract more Ugandan shillings but it was not the next day in the US so we were unable to do so. We went to CTPH offices and worked on projects while waiting for Gladys. After our meeting with Gladys, Rachel and Chichio accompanied us as we went out to do errands. We searched for an open ATM and was successful, purchased colorful material for Gladys for her Animal Expo in San Francisco and ourselves, and a cardboard box for the gorilla chairs. The weather was hot and humid, so when we were finished we were glad to be back at the office and out of the traffic.
Lawrence and Beth had a brainstorming session and started a facebook while Jerri-Ann played with Ndhego.
We met Dr. Gladys's mother, Rhoda, today as well, she is a very esteemed woman and has brought Uganda a long way. She was the first woman to take a typing class and the daughter of a Prime Minister, first woman in politics. She was issued in African Woman two months ago. This months issue of African Woman features Dr. Gladys! After more meetings we all met Uncle Moses at a Thai Restaurant which was right next to our hotel. We had Thai Tea and some Pad Thai noodle dishes and wonderful conversation which lasted until almost midnight. It as a full table because we also had Rabuchey with us, Ndhego's 12 year old cousin who is here for vacation, he lives in England with his parents who just had a baby boy named Sam.
Then Beth continued to work on the slide show that she is creating for the Expo in San Francisco, until late into the night.
