Day 6 - Saturday 4th March - Jinja Market Experience!

After a very hot and sweaty morning at NVI, the floor was painted and the first room was complete. Florence, the leader of the catering department, was initially a bit apprehensive about having the floor painted in the main kitchen areas. However, after seeing how great the floor paint looked in the dining area, she was thrilled to bits with the difference it had made and decided to go ahead with it, much to our relief!

Danni and Ashley had the fantastic idea of using stencils to paint on numbers to identify the cooking areas and cupboards, which really made a difference in adding a personal touch.

After a busy morning the team then headed in to Jinja, and were able to experience the hustle and bustle of the town for the first time. We experienced the mayhem of the market, which seemed to sell everything you could ever need! Down one alley there are stacks upon stacks of Tupperware; and down the next alley, there are piles upon piled of clothes and shoes. We were even able to purchase some material, which we are hoping the Textile department at NVI will be able to transform in to some table cloths as a final touch in the catering department! Before heading back to the hotel, we visited the tranquil garden of The Deli where we enjoyed a nice cold milkshake.

Story of the day definitely belonged to Kiran; who along with Laurie and Chris went to explore the old Odeon Theatre in Jinja,…More on that to come!
