Sixth months ago I had the opportunity to hop in my flatmate's truck the patch of land that the organization he co-founded (United Future Foundation) had recently bought for the purpose of building a primary school. In the ensuing six months I had the pleasure of watching my otherwise-mellow friend reach all stages (which I know well) of near-panic and over-extension as he ostensibly oversaw the building of a nascent school, the hiring of four teachers and the enrollment of 81 local nursery (kindergarten) and Primary 1 (first grade) students. I finally had the opportunity to revisit the site and was - to put it lightly - stunned. United Future Foundation has put up what I will confidently say is the nicest, most well-thought out and most well-appointed village school I have seen in my year and a half in Uganda (and I've seen a fair number of schools...). The fact that I know that my flatmate managed to pull this off between early September and when the school term began on 30 January makes it all the more remarkable; well I know how the best-laid timelines can be waylaid in Uganda.

Beyond producing a remarkable environment for 81 students (and more soon...) in what must be record time, my flatmate is one of the most critical individuals I have met in the development world. Though he and I do have some fundamental disagreements about models of development, I cannot think of a person I would rather be doing the work that he is doing (and I continue to try to get him to change my mind about development...).

The UFF bus picks up some stragglers on the way

If that isn't love in her eyes, I don't know what is.

The nicest village school I've seen.

One of the more interesting designs for latrines I've seen. Also the nicest village latrines I've seen.

The doorway on the front side goes to the teachers' latrines. Two doors on the back side go to boys' and girls' latrines.

The long walk...

A classroom to rival American schools.

They forgot to label the goatee.

My only critique: they seriously need to step up their game in the coffee-shop.

seal club sandwich - nice to see something that looks familiar around here!

heard the rains down in africa as we got home

"Tanganda" tea sounds like it could be from my neck of the woods, but I've never heard of it...?

And good to see the rainy season has hit there too. We've had a couple torrential dumps in the past week, after a pretty long dry stretch.

[cheapmuthafukr]

today my jeans went to the Bowlriders cup at kona skatepark. i took my son who was happy for the first hour or so, but then started asking me to leave... only go to shoot photos of the girls and masters division... had a bunch of good stuff... then i got home and my flash card fucked up and i lost all but one of the shots i took today.

fuck.

so then i took a walk to the park. took a waywt pic on top of a back hoe.

while i was on the walk, i noticed a funny looking plant, so i took a picture of it.

never seen that growing around here... maybe an invasive species... anyone familiar with it??

and i cant do anything with that funny plant... for fear of losing my job.

fuck.

at least i can post on sufu again.

[saintkeat]

^ amazing shot of you on the back hoe! its unreal!

[Max Power]

^one of my favorite pages so far. Great Stuff, jigsaw, dkatz and cheap. Must spread for most though...

[seal club sandwich]

"Tanganda" tea sounds like it could be from my neck of the woods, but I've never heard of it...?

Tanganda is from Zimbabwe; I think Mrs. Club Sandwich bought the box because of the design work.

And good to see the rainy season has hit there too. We've had a couple torrential dumps in the past week, after a pretty long dry stretch.

We've been getting steady rains since January...it makes mining a challenge, but I love the rainy season. Serious thunder/lightning at least two/three times a week.

I empathized with your coffee picture - I'm currently brewing my coffee in a tea-pot as the imported french press died an early death. African innovation.

last thursday...

we headed of in the ute to the end of the first stage of the tour

were passed by an ambulance

heart sank

sure enough big crash early in the race and one of the guys in the team i was running round after smashed his collar bone and clavicle

but th race goes on, including his 14 yr old son riding with the elite for the first time

only 17 of them to run round after now...

after driving up and down and round crazy corners we arrived at the last decent of the next stage end

free range?

our bach for the night

i unpacked and set about cooking up 2kgs of bacon and making bacon sandwiches for them to eat as they came in, just finished when i heard the pilot vehicles go past, drove to the finish line, where the mornings warning finally came to play and the sky started to fall on us. i took the few elite guys in the team back to warmth and food then stood in the rain cheering for the rest

of course after they all came in the rain stopped

we headed off to that evenings prize giving in the village

its most famous resident

he used to play here

[tg76]

wating for the take aways to be cooked, $97 woth of burgers and fries

went for a romatic walk on the beach by myself while mr and the rest had nana naps

found a giant dog

looking back at the bach, was very cool place, weird layout (belongs to some architect) had a spa bath and toilet in a hallway joing 2 of the parts of the house and a two story tree house sleep out thing

saturday, i relaxed and left half an hour after the race, stupid, spent best part of 2 hour drive avoiding the 478 riders

but when i got to the end i set up my mobile kai cart and got to work

shackin it like tom cruise in a bad 80s movie

blah blah
