Today I arrived safely after an uneventful trip from Heathrow to Kampala via Entebbe and Nairobi. Somewhat to my surprise - given recent events - my baggage also arrived with me.
My trip to Uganda has three main purposes:
a) To meet the staff of the Uganda Country Office, to talk about how our organisation is performing and our key themes and activities, as well as to listen to their concerns and issues
b) To visit a range of projects and meet a number of partners to give me a better insight into issues in Uganda.
c) To meet a number of Ministers to build on the existing governmental links and to advocate for higher priority for eyecare and social inclusion for visually impaired people.
It’s going to be busy, but I’m looking forward to it!
