This is Rob so I hope it comes out ok. On my last day here and it has been pouring this morning but the sun is out now .Sophie is with the rest of the others and the kids from the orphanage.They are about to take them to the pool.What an eventfull week I me sure all will tell you of there stories when they get home but here is a brief account to date .We have had changable weather all week none stop rain all day to hot sunny days needless to say some of us have had a bit of sunburn.The second house has gone up a lot quicker as we have not had to clear the land and lay the footings and there are more bricklayers. I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt start putting the roof on later in the week. A good effort from everyone including all the girls.Heather has been getting some treatment for malaria but may have been diagnosed wrong. She went to a hospital in kampala last night and they think its something else so lets hope so. There was a couple of slight cuts on site yesterday nothing serious but it was the moving and smashing of rocks day which Paul has been waiting all week.I think the only other ailments is of sore heads a beer to many for some.Had a bit of a laugh yesterday raffling off all my old clothes from underpants to suits.The guys picked a number out of the hat and had to close there eyes and pull an item out of a black bin bag ,luck of the draw. It was nice to see all the guys again Fanbelt as we have now called him is still the man .We a little bit of trouble the other day between a couple of guys on site which has accumulated in a pig being arrested , only in uganda! Just to some up its been great coming back with old and new friends .Its been alot easier this time regards to the build side obviously the new guys dont see that.They have all mucked in again in any way they can and having spoken to them they have loved the experience an d the laughs that go with it and I hope it continues for them. It has been great seeing the kids and Sophie has made lots of new ones on her walk from the main rd to the orphanage as have we all. Its funny to think I will be back home Monday morning but am looking forward to seeing Gill and Sam and telling them all about it. Sophie wants to stay till Friday and come back with the others so I will try to change it later .R she s already been upset saying her goodbyes to some of the kids It will be hard to leave everyone later but there will always be other times spent here .If ayn of tish donest mkae snese i aplosige Rob
