A church, in a remote community, where villagers will spend time on Christmas Day

On my (Dr Bill Tams) visit to Bumwalukani Clinic, Uganda, earlier this month, I asked the staff about their Christmas traditions. The Christian religion is very important to people here and it plays a large part at Christmas. On Christmas Day many will visit their church up to 5 times. As for a Christmas meal, Robert, who works in the clinic, told us that he and his neighbours save up during the year to buy a cow. The cow is shared amongst the neighbours and is eaten on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with their families. Meat is quite a luxury here as there are no fridges and often no power. For Christmas gifts, the children are bought clothes.We, at EMR4DW, will be thinking about all our friends in Uganda, who have worked so hard using our EMR4DW system.Mulembe everyone!
