TGIF

Kampala Latino Club for dinner followed by dancing at Bamboo! The
highlights: "Cassonova" by LaVert, C&C Music Factory and "Rock
Steady." :) My dancing? "Like a mizongo."

Day 2 of administrivia

More permits and fees today. Meh.

Met an amazing dog yesterday named Hope. She lives at USPCA's shelter
called The Haven. She was run over by a 4x4 - twice- as part of a
cruel joke. She managed to survive and eventually started living with
a homeless man and learned to walk on 2 legs because of parapalegia.
When USPCA came to rescue and offer proper vet care, she courageously
defended her human companion, who she thought was in danger. This
despite the cruelty exacted upon her by other people and even though
she was barely able to move.

Hope's rehabilitation has gone unexpectedly well given the extent of
her injuries. She has Bern fitted with a wheelchair and greets USPCA
staff and visitors with enthusiasm.

I put a link to USPCA's website in an earlier post. Check them out
when you can. Big kudos to Dr Alex and the rest of the great team at
USPCA for the great work they do on behalf of animals in Uganda!

Cheers,
Deb
