It was so amazing to meet this strong independent group of women and children with Albanism. They make soap so that they are self sufficient. We brought a big box home with us to be passed on to their contact in the UK who is selling them, and brought some a small amount back ourselves for presents and to sell too. The strength of self, purpose and survival in these women was palpable. I am in awe of them and look forward to, next time I go to Uganda, spending a couple of days there to watch them make their soap and perhaps attend a conference or meeting to support them.
Today, before leaving for the airport to travel home tonight, we visited some ladies that I have come to know via my friend Fabio. We had hoped to see them at the beginning of our visit to Uganda, but that hadn't been possible, so I was determined to see them today before we left!
