YES, WE DID IT AGAIN!!

Welcome back my "favourite bunch", the untiring Lions! If i was good at forming theories i would have by now formulated a theory based on the "satisfaction derived from serving a lesser fortunate being than you", but as for now, i can only tell you that it's amazingly satisfying.

Don't know what i am talking about yet! relax! 

The days 27th February to 1st March 2009 will remain memorable in the lives of both the people of Isingiro and the untiring lions who serve without reservations. The Medical camp begun with a visit to Ngarama Secondary school and Ngarama girls' Secondary school where sanitary pads were distributed to over 300 girls in both schools.

It's Saturday morning of the 28th of February and the crowd has already gathered even when the medical team hasn't fully prepared! Your guess is as good as mine.............., people suffer silently and are in great need of help. As the team assembles there mobile laboratories and clinics, the ques outside are uncontrollable because everyone wants to be attended to. People have come to seek attention for different ailments; malaria, HIV testing, coughs, gynaecological problems, pregnancy tests, dental problems, eye diseases, skin problems and many other complicated medical cases, and true to our motto, we had specialists to handle every case much to the satisfaction of all.

As the day goes by, the medical team is overwhelmed but with the assistance from the Lions, they serve untiringly and by the end of the day we are all happy for what we have achieved and the people of Isingiro are very satisfied and greatful for the service rendered to them.

Lions also took time off their busy schedule to donate blood and mobilise other people at the camp to donate to save lives. (In the photo, Lion Gervase donating blood to save lives)

As usual, to celebrate our achievement, the day was concluded with a sumptuous dinner and drinks at the home of Lions Gervase and Rose Ndyanabo.

Oh! i almost forgot! As said by one of the renowned nutritionists, "you need to exercise alot so that food can be easily digested", we danced "paka chini" for some good hours punctuated with jokes and loads of laughter.

It's Sunday morning! Lion Rose has prepared for us a very good breakfast, everybody is enjoying themselves and thanking each other for the work well done. It's 10:00am and we're on our bus back to Kampala after a job well done................yes!! We serve.

On a personal note, i must say that it was another adventure but the beauty of staying away from the noisy and dusty Kampala and breathing very fresh air was as satisfying as seeing a patient grateful for the service we rendered.

To those of you who missed, my camera was on duty as usual and i bring to you some of the moments it captured.
