The women looked forward to getting to a rural school and see what difference regional factors will make.

With a merry introduction, Friday morning's itinerary included a visit to one of the "anticipated places." Nsambya babies home is where young men and women can spend time with the orphaned babies. This was a different experience.

The students were told their parents had abandoned the babies, and some infants were left as soon as they were born. It was all very sad. Was this true, some asked; the answer from John Kasule, the child welfare officer, was a solemn "Yes."

It sounded unbelievable, but the students were faced by the reality of abandoned compassionate love. Many kept carrying the babies with smiling innocent faces. It was so hard to believe that someone would throw away all of this innocent love. It was a different situation for me to see someone offering love and tenderness to these needy children.

The babies are here without the slightest idea of what or where they are. To them, they are at home; this is where they were born.

Love, compassion and joy filled the compound as a new day started for the babies with the visitors bringing in new life. The day was changed completely, from the look of this; it had absolutely a lot to offer. The visitors embarked on cleaning rooms, washing clothes, carrying firewood to the kitchen and giving the babies a mother's warm arm.

Two year old Moses was the happiest of the day, together with Melanie and Jolly. He had found what he probably had been looking for as he happily played with Jolly who kept on carrying him, tickling and throwing him up and down. They had the most fantastic day, to the envy of 6 month old Dominic Ssemakula.

Hard work was exhibited and the students handed over an assortment of goodies for the children. Janet Blair, the science teacher, donated over 350 pound sterling to John Kasule that had been contributed while home.

"This is to make a change in their lives," Janet said.

After this outstanding experience the team headed to Iganga where they visited a clinic started by group member Dennis Lukwago. They delivered medical equipment and drugs to the clinic that serves the rural people in the district.

Dennis is a Ugandan working Experience Africa. This trip was one that he had managed to organize to promote Africa with an emphasis on Uganda.

At the end of the tour, some of the students had already expressed their desire to stay a little longer and make future trips back. From now on, when any of these students hear stories about the Uganda war, they know a little bit about the reality of the rest of the story.
