So Gulu was taken by storm with a halloween party extravaganza on Saturday night! We tried to explain to the locals what halloween is all about with little sucess, and many stares as Flintstones, Ninja turtles, trolls, cowboys and indians amongst other characters walked around town!!!!! It may seem ironic that we are partying when we have written how some people are living in such poor conditions here -please forgive us for needing some degree of normality in our lives out here!
The Manchester gang transformed themselves into an award winning family of Flintstones, complete with car that we spent many hours building...which we later crashed on our lap of honour around the grounds of the party venue - its now officially declared a 'write-off!' But it help us secure the award for 'Best Innovative Group' and so we felt very proud of our efforts! Much fun was had by all, culminating in a street dancing to a group of local musicians playing the most fabulous music our ears have heard since arriving in Uganda!
