We went to a place called Mamba Point, an Italian restaurant up on a hill in the city of Kampala. It was beautifully decorated and we all dressed up as best we could so it was quite a smart evening in comparison to the dirt and muck of the week. Kathryn (from the Canadian office), Craig (CompassionArt) and Jane & Alan (CEO of Watoto) joined us for dinner where we were given small gifts of woven baskets as thanks. I was a little disappointed not to be sitting near Craig as he would have been fascinating to talk to. He collated the reflections of the songwriters for the CompassionArt book from which some of the proceeds go to Watoto. Money from the CD goes to Watoto as well, which I happen to think is a brilliant album. It was still a lovely evening in spite of this and I enjoyed the opportunity to sit down in the open air for dinner, even if liberally sprayed to avoid mosquitoes!
