As many of you now, Cormac's contract ends in September and he is heading back to Ireland to get hitched to his fiancee Sue. While it is completely crappy for us in Moroto, they are well overdue for their reunion after 5 (6?) months apart. Can't believe its been that long since Sue left! There were back to back festivities to celebrate Cormac's hard work with Concern in Karamoja, and his friendships made with many. Friday was work party followed by dancing/drinking at the local club Whispaz. It was my first and last time going :)
Cormac receives a handmade shirt and slacks from his house lady Anna, who is his Moroto mom :)
Return Concern staffer Finola poses with the pizzas that Anna made. Ummm hello, who knew she could make a pizza!?!?! And why aren't we having this for lunch everyday?!?!
Cormac drinks his coupon's worth of beers as we wait from 7 till 10 for food and speeches to begin . . .
Jovin, the "does it all" guy at the office and dear friend to Cormac gives one of the most heartfelt speeches. It was very sweet
Cormac and Jimmy from a local business group pose after Jimmy gifts Cormac with a traditional cane of leadership with Uganda colored beading
Cormac opens staff present, a holograph picture of a turtle :)
