First two days in Kalongo

Hi everybody! Ciao a tutti!

Fortunally yesterday I arrived here in Kalongo after a long trip. I got my flight in Milan at 6.55 on June 1st, and I landed in Entebbe at 19.30. I spent one night in a beautiful Hotel in Entebbe and yesterday at 7.30 a.m. I flighted to Kalongo with a private airplane.
The place is beautiful, we are in the middle of Africa with a lot of nature around and everybody are very kind with me. I've already organized my room and put in order all my staff.
Yesterday, in the afternoon, I had a first good approach with my "new colleague" for this months and I visit all the hospital. It is incredible to see how important was the work of the missionaries today and in the past, aiming at giving a better future to a huge number of people.

I also visited some school and I was impressed by the attention keeping by the students. I never see something similar (maybe because I'm not a good student ;)). The best thing of yesterday was the visit of a nursery in which a lot of children start to sing to say welcome to me... Suddenly I will update the pictures

Today is a public holiday. It is good for me. So I can have an additional day to adapt myself expecially to the climate.The sun is very hot here, as I understood this morning after my first soccer match in Uganda.......

See you soon

Ciao

Federico

  2. Ti avrei detto le stesse cose che ti ha scritto Matteo (ma le avrei scritte in italiano) e poi sono stato preceduto. Per il momento ti auguro buon proseguimento e........tienici informati.

  3. Con immenso piacere vedo che il buon Fossatone e il mitico Bruno (alias Gianni F.) mi hanno preceduto nel commentare le tue prime impressioni sulla grande e bella Africa.
    Come ti avevo gia detto in Italia sono sicuto che per te questa sarà una grandissima esperienza sia a livello lavorativo, ma ancor più a livello di vita vissuta.
    Cosa c'è poi di più bello che iniziare una storia con un bel partitone di Calcio (se trovi qualche fenomeno dimmelo che lo portiamo all'Inter!).
    Ti rinnovo il mio in bocca al lupo e ci sentiamo presto.
