Wed this week was NRM day (a holiday) and we had the day off from training. So with a bunch of other volunteers we headed out in the morning to the local animal sanctuary/zoo in Entebbe.
It was a great day, as all days are here, 20-25, fairly low humidity and the zoo was better than I had expected. The enclosures were quite adequate and natural and we saw Lions, zebras, white rhino, chimps, giraffe, and other animals from around this area. There was also an area where they rescue african grey parrots from export.
The monkeys roamed free, and were quite friendly. They had quite a few babies with them (so adorably cute).
I am heading up tomorrow to Lira with my housemate (who is down for the ICT2 training I am also on). Anxious to get started. I received a survey completed by the folks in the District office I will be working in and its the same issues technically as we have back home. Should be easy enough to settle in and get started working.
