Received a call Friday morning that the container is not being delivered today. Apparently the trucker was to bring it directly to Luweero but he ended up in the Kampala freight yard instead? Now our Makindye Rotary contact is trying to get it out without having to pay too much extra (probably money that will never see the inside of a receipt book)
Shalan and I went to speak to the director of the Catholic guest house about the lack of water and "mistruths" we were told. The author of the misinformation remained with us in the room which was a bit awkward but at least she heard it first hand. Apparently, they have been without water for a month and there is a conflict with the town council on supplying them water. The council's reason is that the need 2 generators to supply water, one to pump from well and the other to pump out of the tank. One of the generators is broken so they pump into the tank during the night and move the generator over to pump out after. Something doesn't quite add up but he was very apologetic for the misinformation and they trucked our luggage back to the Anglican house.
I would still recommend the Catholic house as it has better amenities when they work so you would have to ask the right question!!!
This will be another day of wandering and speaking to different community leaders and services which will help understand the culture - I hope
