Sticking with my propensity for song titles (Pearl Jam, again), but actually WASH stands for Water and Sanitation and Health. This is an initiative of the Rotary International Foundation. In the absence of my counterpart, interpreter, and motorcycle driver Matthews, who is getting some health issues attended to, my supervisor and Rotarian Adams has taken me with him to villages to help determine how WASH funds will be spent. There are 10 schools in Bugiri District which will receive these funds. The main Sponsoring club is the Rotary Club of Ntinda, which is located in Kampala.
We go into the community and it’s like a town hall meeting under the shade of big trees. There is great participation. They talk about their community resources and the problems they have with water and sanitation. School is out so there are lots of kids on the periphery of these meetings, but they are exceptionally well behaved. I get treated like a special guest and they are easily charmed by my fractured Lusoga. All I remember now are the introductory phrases and a some greetings. Then I tell them my Lusoga is “mpola mpola” (slowly, slowly) and they all laugh and I switch to English. I say a few sentences and sit down, and the whole meeting is beyond my comprehension. Then we inspect the school’s latrines and water resources, which are often the same as the village water resources.
A couple of facilitators are used to keep the meeting moving.
They make the kids drag their desks and chairs out of the classroom to the tree where the meeting is held.

Pit Latrine inspection. This one was OK. So far every school gets a new bore hole. They cost about $12,000 US.
Adams stands in front of a pond which is the water source for the village. He says it is not fed by a spring, it’s mainly rain run-off. Yuk.
Our four wheel drive picked up two passengers this morning, so we were 4 abreast just like on a taxi, but then it got stuck in the muddy road. We all piled out to walk, while the vehicle was able to eventually pass us with the lighter weight. Adams is in front of me. He laughed and said “This is Africa!”. It reminded me of the snow back home.
