Weather Hampering Progress

For the third day running yesterday, heavy rains battered Kampala residents. Business in the city came to a halt as the early morning downpour flooded markets, submerged shops and blocked roads in the city center and suburbs.
Accompanied by strong winds and hail stones, the rains pounded the city, sweeping away houses, billboards and trees. The whole day, Kampala and the areas around the Lake Victoria basin were covered in a thick nimbus cloud, thunder and lightning.

Such has been the news for most of March. Fortunately there are signs of the rains easing. An area behind the school has been concreted and a new kitchen has been built clearing the way for the excavation for the foundation to begin.
