Where do your dreams take

you? Mine keep taking me

back to Africa! In this spe-

cial edition of our newslet-

ter, we would like to WEL-

COME YOU ALONG on our

2010 African trip. Wanting

you to partner with us as

much as possible, we will

share our photos and spe-

cial reflections on Uganda

and Kenya. In Uganda, we

were with our partners Cari-

tas MADDO and were able

to hand over cows to fami-

lies in the Cow Project. In

Kenya, the highlight was

being at the Regional Micro-

credit Summit where our

partner, Jamii Bora, was

honored for its work of giv-

ing out over 325,000 loans

so that members could bringthemselves out of poverty;

for its model housing project

in Kaputei; and most re-

cently for becoming a bank.

In both Uganda and Kenya,

familiar faces greeted us.

Singing and dancing wel-comed us. Youve come

back! Youve come back,

and youve brought new

friends, people cried. (We

cried tootears of joy.) I

know I can speak for the

group in saying our hearts

were full of gratitude.

We hope that you will enjoy

this special edition of our

African experience.

May our dreams continue to

take us to places of joy.

A WORD FROM SISTE R TONI

CONNECTIONS

U G A N D A &KE N Y A

Uganda is a landlocked, tropical

country about the size of Oregonwhich has enjoyed relative stability

since the mid-1980s following two

decades of violence and the loss of

400,000 lives. The median age is

15 and the life expectancy is 53

years. Kenya, a largely arid land,

borders the Indian Ocean and is

about twice the size of Nevada.

The median age and life expectancy

are each 6 years greater than that in Uganda. Although 1,500 peo-

ple died in post-election violence in 2007, the political climate has

settled. (These data are from the CIA World Fact Book.)

We visited the MADDO Dairy

production facility. Here,

the milk is received from thecollection centers, proc-

essed, and packaged. Plain

and chocolate milk, and

vanilla and strawberry

yoghurt (as spelled in

Uganda) are producedand sold in plastic

pouches. Connie Lubega,

the Production Manager,

gave us a tour of the

facility. Modern equip-

ment, processes, and

quality control are all util-

ized to ensure the highest

quality of product. Con-

nie and the team at the

dairy work six days per

week, from 6:00 am to

6:00 pm, and they love it.

Connie in particular notedthat MADDO Dairys

commitment to quality

control is a big factor in

her satisfaction in her

work.

In addition, the Dairy

also sells the packets

of milk and yoghurt

here. Dick Arnoldy

treated the group to

Immaculata Nakabazzi has

been a widow for ten years.

Her household includes sixchildren, two orphans, and

one young man with epilepsy

who handles chores in ex-

change for room and board.

The MPA team visited her

farm on the first day that Im-

maculata would take milk

from her cow, named, Mercy

of God, to the collection cen-

ter. Her calf, a bull, is five

days old. Caritas MADDO

encourages farmers to sell

baby bulls quickly, because

they eat a lot and do not

appreciate in value as theygrow older. Immaculatas

farm is well established

and offers terrific examples

of Caritas MADDOs agri-

cultural training. Her

compound includes

several handwashing

stations and a dish-

drying center, all de-

signed to maximize

sanitation for the fam-

ily and good health for

her cow. Milking time

comes, and about 9

liters are collected.Some goes to the baby

bull, some is retained

by the family, and the rest

is measured into a can and

taken to the collection

center. Immaculata keeps

a careful eye on this second

measuring, and she and the

technician both sign the

ledger indicating 6.5 liters

worth of credit to her account.

Upon receipt at the dairy,

MADDO will deposit her in-

come into a bank account.

There are so many widows and

The MPA team returned to

visit with the family of Rosie

and John Katumba and withtheir neighbor Justin Nal-

wanga. Rosie and John

were the couple featured in

The Living Loan DVD. Justinwas the widow explaining

how hard it is to prepare

the shed. They each re-

ceived pregnant cows in

December 2009 and could

not be happier. We were

able to share with them a

viewing of the DVD, and

many neighbors gathered

around Sr. Tonis little net-

book computer, set on a

bench in the front yard. There

was much laughter, smiles of

recognition, teasing about be-

ing international stars, and a

gentle joyfulness.

difference between their

stage of preparation and

the established feel of

Immaculatas farm. The

farmers elected a chair-

man and agreed upon

rules for their cooperation

in the Cow Project. As a

group, they work on onefarm at a time, rotating

regularly so that all the

farms are at about the

same level of readiness.

This encourages and

challenges each individ-

ual farmer to be as com-

mitted as his or her

neighbor. The residents

of Kanywa have very

little income, and they

have faced challenges in

acquiring cement and

roofing materials. The

chairman noted, The

workshops and training

sessions provided by

Caritas MADDO have

been eye-openers. We

are grateful to the Lord

who brought us visitors

from the USA to our

homes. We wish you a

safe journey. Thank you

very much.

The MPA team toured a

farming group in the village

of Kanywa. This group of 24

farmers had recently joined

the Cow Project, and while

great progress has been

made, it was a great learn-

ing experience to see the

Before the latest handing-

Father Peter and his teamand Sister Toni and her

team visit each farmer to do

one last tour and inspection.

The day is full of potential.

The farms are well-planned

and prepared. The grasses

are growing well and

are ready to provide

sustenance for thenew bovine guest at

each farm. Salt

blocks are in place in

the sheds, and the

children at each farm

are so excited they are

in constant motion.

The farmers show us

carefully drawn maps

of their land. They

demonstrate the hand

show us how neat and

organized the latrineand shower facilities

are. We see the

raised vegetable beds,

the well-tended ba-

SAFARI Thinking of traveling on this kind of trip to

Africa? Here are some things to think about:By Heather CammarataDisclaimer: this writer cannot wait to return. Africa isamazing and wondrous and welcoming.

Even though the outside air was 75-80F and

breezy, the interior of both the Entebbe andNairobi airports was stifling. By stifling I

mean that hells critters would be sweating pro-

fusely. Be prepared to tolerate and make the

best of it. Airports and international travel re-

quire a certain amount of waiting around. Be

prepared to tolerate and make the best of it. If

you complain, youll only be whining to your

travel buddies who are just as hot and cranky as

you are, and now youve given them a reason to

point you out to the nearest ornery customs official.

DO resist the urge to overpack. Even if you check a bag, make sure you can carry

or drag all your own items under your own personal horsepower. I

learned this the hard way when on the first night I lugged my 49.99

pound suitcase, stuffed-to-the-gills carryon, and backpack up four

flights of stairs to my room at the retreat center. By the time I got to

4th, it was time to make the trip back down to catch the cab. Full

blown hiking boots are really not needed. Decent walkers are suffi-

cient. And, if you are navigating through mud, shoes that can be

washed off are even more convenient. Most places we stayed did

offer laundry services. It may not be necessary to bring a full change

of clothes per each day. Splurge item I wish I had packed: my own

regular toothbrush. Travel toothbrushes just are not the same. And

how much room did I really save?

Our flights were 2 hours, 9 hours, and 8 hours, respectively. Have a plan to exer-

cise both in your seat and out of it. Drink plenty of water. Try to begin sleeping

during your destinations sleeping hours and forcing yourself

to stay awake during your destinations awake hours to mini-

mize jet lag. Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is a key

preventive measure to stave off headaches.

The main roads are moderately smooth for riders. Much of

the rural area of the Masaka diocese in Uganda has dirt roads,

which are very bumpy. Most of the trails through the Maasai

Mara are rough dirt paths as well. Be prepared for a very jolt-

filled ride in both Kenya and Uganda. During the safari, de-

pending on your game ride vehicle, be prepared to enter and

exit the vehicle by climbing the sides of the truck and hoisting

yourself over the rails.

Sunscreen stronger than 30 and DEET at 40% or higher is

strongly recommended. Wash it off at the end of the day, so as not to worry aboutyour skin dissolving from the abundance of chemicals. If a room has a mosquito

net, use it. The big bugs do come out at night. Retreat center rooms are small but

clean. The bathroom is private, clean, and simple. Some showers may have mini-

mal water pressurebe patientcleanliness is worth it. Retreat center beds are

twins, on a wood platform, with a 2 foam mattress and a thin pillow.

Smartest thing someone else broughtpeanut buttergreat supplement to any

meal that just doesnt sound like it will sit well. Dumbest thing I broughtan alumi-

num water bottle. Absolutely useless in countries where one is advised not to par-

take of water from the tap. Gloriously, though, bottled beverages are available and

do include those containing barley, malt, and hops.
