It's just been confirmed that I will be able to visit the Ssese Islands. I will be accompanied by Melanie Musselman, an American nurse who works with AIM in the islands. She will be doing some teaching in various fishing camps during that week, so I'm linking up with her trip. I'll be staying overnight on Buyovu Island.

There are some great satellite images and photos of the islands on Google Earth. The photos show the islands for the benefit of tourists, so you'll see the idyllic beaches and posh resorts. Life in the fishing communities is not quite so cosy. If you visit the AIM website: www.aimint.org/eu there's a video called 'Hope and Healing'. The first part was filmed on the islands among these communities.

Another of the videos, 'Build Something Beautiful', is about the discipleship work that Seb and Connor are involved in at Mbarara. Here are a couple of photos I found of the school where Seb works and where I've been invited to preach. They certainly seem to take graduation seriously - even from secondary school.

This is the university where Zillah works as a physio in the hospital. I'll give you a bit more of an introduction to her next week.
