Many of the ministries of YFC Uganda are focussed on girls and young women. I wrote a post about part of the ministry at Idudi in the east of the country. These young mums don't live at the facility in Idudi. However, in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, YFC has a home where young mums live and are taught tailoring.
Each week I have been spending Wednesdays at Suubi Home - Suubi is a Luganda word meaning hope.
I have shared this day each week with Lynn, a young Social Sciences student doing her internship with YFC. We were asked to teach 'Life Skills' in the morning and 'Creative Skills' in the afternoon.
One Wednesday afternoon I taught them how to make banana pancakes.
All of their cooking is done on a charcoal stove outside.
That part I couldn't teach them, but they are already totally familiar with that.
Even in the city that's the way the Ugandan's cook.
We had a lot of fun just generally hanging out.
That's very African.
Most of life is about relationship.
Love it!
And at the end of the afternoon we enjoyed sharing the pancakes together.
