Umubano Primary School

I cannot believe that I only blogged once during my most recent Rwandan adventure. However, I think that is probably representative of the busy time I was having in my role as Interim Head Teacher at Umubano Primary School. 

I also had to keep a website up to date, which contained a lot of what I would have been blogging about any way. For those of you interested, the site is www.umubanoprimary.org . Click on the news tab to see some of the things I was doing at the school. 

My Rwandan expeditions are currently on pause whilst I'm back in the UK to have a baby - mum would not have been impressed if I had had her first grandchild in Rwanda, even though she accepts that it probably won't be long until baby and I are flying back to Africa for our next adventure, along with Collin who is due to arrive in the UK on 17th march (which should be perfect timing before the birth...fingers crossed).

I spent 5 months of my pregnancy in Rwanda and found the healthcare there to be very good. I was offered an appointment with the consultant every 6 weeks and given an ultrasound scan at every visit. So I was able to see my baby 4 times on the screen as opposed to the usual 2 offered by the NHS. Having said this, my photo souvenirs all look like aliens so they are not much to write home about!!

Anyway, I will endeavour to blog more when the next African adventure commences and I will be sure to post some snaps of the baby too. 

If any of you are feeling charitable, here is a link to my school's fundraising page. We need help supporting the 30 children who have scholarship places:

This is me in Uganda at Christmas with a 6 month bump. Collin and I took a short break over there so he could introduce me to his family :-)
