(Uganda from page 17) As I said in the beginning, the trip was awesome. Problems just didn't happen -- unless a solution was already available. As Tom and I always did, it was fantastic to join a LIONS CLUB meeting half-way around the world. These guys met outdoors in a field they owned. There was a building there, but it no longer houses the nursery school they used to sponsor. Lion Richard and I are wanting to try something called Club Twinning.
PS - I would love to give programs on this trip to any club where we can set a date.
