Happy Happy Sugar Land

Yes, Der again, back from the dead. Although I am don't think Iw as so dead to begin with. Now, what has happened to me sincelast report. WEll, Sugar, heartbreak, road trip, acid trip and Epithaini, and yes revolution. WE all hail to Castro for sticking it to the Americans and surviving all these years.

Last week I attend the annual VSO volunteer conference. 5 Star hotel, and place where prez Clinton stay when he was in Uganda. I didn't get the suite though. Conference was a bust, apart from the R and R time with swimming and good food and gym workout.

Afer the VSO conference, I and some friends embark on this road trip on VSO tab. We visited the city of Hoima and Masindi. Great group of people I was with for 6 days. In Hoima, we greeted the king and primiere , yes UGanda has some 21 Primieres, district governor basically. The king, wow....I got to shake his hand,..too bad I was dressed like some zzzzzzzzuppie, torn pants, dirty shirt and bad hair day style. hmmm, I should have worn the sweat pants. At least they weren't torn.

Hoima is a quint little city. Next we visited Masindi. The sugar plantation gave birth to a sugar refinary factory. The Kinyara sugar factory was like going on a school field, we even got to wear hard hats.!!!

This was suppose to be a Education trip on Development in Uganda. The schools we bvisited were, wel some were good and some bad. bad ones had teachers there with their students but the profs weren't teaching or teaching very little. Hell, at this one school, the head teacher, I guess principle figure wasn't even at work.

SOme good schools were good, they had committed teachers and some not so committed ones. BUt at least the students were learning something. At the bad school, I had to take over a class cause the teacher was called out to a meeting with the evaluators, who were critizing his methods. I taught the students, equivalent to grade 7 the 5 Ws. Who, What When , and Where....

BUt like I said before, Wat is the most important question.???? How many time your can stick your....zzzzzzzzzzzz????

Anycase, I got to go now....appointment, make or break.

Later..
