I thought I would add some pictures to show the latest developments in Iganga. We celebrated International Women's Day last Thursday, where all the men did all the duties for the women for the day. The three houses came together and the lads cooked everyone a big meal which for the first time in a while included meat. We also were in the field last week interviewing people for the position of focal persons in our new programme of uplifting the rights of women and children. We asked questions and scored them on their responses, whitling down 45 applicants to 14 successful people. I also attended UDHA's arts and crafts day they held for the youth which was really fun. All the youth were making mothers day cards and were having fun. Here are the pics:

| Two local teams were playing a football match near where we live. Turn out was crazy. |
 |
| Pretty much all the students from the two schools were their watching. |
 |
| This is one of the potential focal persons that we interviewed. |
 |
| This is the interview panel. Everyone from the office was involved in the selection process. |
 |
| A back shot of those involved. Pretty daunting for the applicant! |
 |
| This is the next day of interviews, in a different sub-county. |
 |
| This is one of those days in the compound after work when everyone is relaxing and making dinner. |
 |
| The men hard at work preparing the meal for the ladies on International Women's Day. Alex is cutting cabbage while Joseph (in the background) is chopping tomatoes. |
 |
| I was on the green's front. |
 |
| Sylvia couldn't stop herself from getting involved. To be fair we did need her help! |
