Friday morning was a free morning, spent either visiting a few CBOs (community-based organizations) that are run by our Ugandan participants, browsing at the markets in Kampala, and shopping the National Theater Art Market.

In the afternoon, we had a talk by Dr. Richard Stockley, a British doctors who came to Uganda 27 years ago as a missionary doctor. He has stayed since and raised his family in Uganda, and spoke to us about his experience working with the Karamoja people in Northern Uganda when he first arrived many years ago. His main message to the group regarding development work consisted of three main points: 1) do the best you can with what you have, 2) you have to be present to make the work happen, and 3) do the simple things well. He illustrated his points by witty and humorous stories of the mistakes he made in order to learn these lessons.

In the evening, the group celebrated their last night in Kampala with an authentic Italian dinner!
