Heading off to Kamengo

The CACHA missions take all their medical supplies and equipment with them from Canada so each of the team members use their 2 check-in luggage allowance to take two large plastic bins loaded with medical and logistics supplies for the mission and carry their personal clothes etc in a carry on bag.

Here are a couple of us meeting at the Via Rail station Ottawa to catch the KLM bus to Montreal airport.


Karen (CACHA project officer based in Otatwa, myself and Cam a pharmacist)

Arrived in Entebbe at 11pm after some long flights and although Jimmy and friends assured us it was very cool - I was already feeling the heat. we are now well rested and off to Kampala to get Phone cards, Ugandan shillings and our last coffee for 2 weeks - there will be instant coffee at the village but for many of my team mates their last real coffee is a big event!
