Lugundan Word: Webale (WEH-ba-lay): Thank you
We arrived safely in Entebbe. It was a quick flight to
Uganda. Abbey and David met us at the airport. We went out for a beautiful
lunch at a local café. Abbey, David, and a few other API staff members gave us
a “culture orientation” The differences between the Ugandan culture and ours is
incredible. Ugandans are a very humble and gentle people. We are so stoked to
learn from them. After lunch we headed to Kampala. We are staying in a
beautiful guest house. We got the chance to apply what we learned in our
orientation by spending a couple of hours walking around the city. We often
found ourselves being trailed by children. As you can imagine, we draw a lot of
attention walking down the street. The most common word we hear, anywhere we
go, is “Muzungu” which means “white person.” Many people will point and shout
at us. The children turn it into a song, jumping up and down, chanting muzungu.
We definitely have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. We begin our first day of
the street program.
Prayer List
· Energy throughout the day
