The vacation time that saw Paul and Wini Benvenuti accompany Fr Dominic Tumusiime to Uganda is over and we are all back safe and sound to our daily routines. The journey that started on February 30th 2013 was full of excitement for both of us. While Paul and Wini wished to the difference between East Africa and West Africa and see the realities of Rubanda and Children in Rubnada Solidarity School, I was more taken up by my family and school children. The one month vacation that seemed enough time to do all we had on our plan just rushed like water on hill slopes. However, we managed to capture some of our activities in pictures and video clips that we feel honored to share with you. You will also see Dr. Bruce who joined us a week later from the DRC refugee camp in Kisoro-Uganda.
