Our friends Nick and Tess, students from New Zealand, left Kisiizi last week after a 3-month stay here.

Like us, they’ve been writing a blog about their experiences. Their final article from the hospital does a great job with the quirks and idiosyncrasies we encounter here on a daily basis.

From their list, my favourite (or least favourite, depending on my mood) is that there’s no word in Rukiga for ‘maintenance’…
