We spent our last evening in Kampala, back at our first guest house. I felt as if I was going back home - the Catholic Centre Guest House was like our home in Uganda.
We spent a long time on the road going from Kaliro to Kampala, from where we would be taking a flight back home. Arriving late to the guest house after 10pm, we found that everything was closed so we went to bed without any dinner.
After enjoying a relaxing breakfast on the spacious lawn, we said thank you to the staff and I had a good conversation with the two sisters stationing full time at the centre. I admire the Catholic churches' social work and their involvement with the people in Uganda. If God is willing, I would like to be involved in some of their outreach ministry work which the Catholic church is doing in Kampala or Jinja.
After saying good bye to the the sisters, we headed out for some shopping at a local supermarket trying to bring back some taste of Uganda to family and friends back home.
We were driven to the Entebee International Airport and boarded the plane without any incident.We changed flight in Ethiopia, boarding another plane then flew to Dublin for a refuel.
On my last leg of the flight from Dublin to Toronto, I started chatting with a fellow passenger, an Ugandan Canadian. We talked about our trips and the lady sitting in front of us also joined in our conversation. They wanted to know what I did in Uganda and I explained to them. Then we talked about everything. We had such a good time that we exchanged contact info and vowed to keep in contact.
The world is indeed a global village! As long as we have an open mind, a friendly attitude and our ears available ( rather than having them plugged into our electronic devices ), we can always meet interesting people and make friends no matter where we are!
