Arua: Developing existing and new contacts with deaf people

Yesterday/s coach journey from Kampala to Arua, was 8hrs at break-neck speed! It skirted the Nile frequently. The conductor invited a passenger to pray before we left Kampala. I responded!.






At the base it was good to see familiar faces and meet some new ones. Bosco's family, Benedictine and Benjamin, Paul.

Several more houses have been built or under construction. our accomodation could be in one like that pictured.

Today base co-founder Sam Abuku kindly ferried me to visit:
regional and local deaf association chairs, Asega and Mauster, both deaf. They knew two rural areas. Offaka and Okallo with numerous deaf that would appreciate a sign workshop.

• member of deaf church - gave me service venue and time.




• woman at book shop with deaf around her village, (Yeppi)




• deaf school - lots of change Isaac and Salome both moved on! and new head left too!.

Have arranged further meetings with each of these, including two village visits and deaf service this sun pm.
