“Small, small”
“Slowly, slowly”
“We are just there”
“We are trying”
“A bit”
“Somehow”
All phrases heard on a daily basis in Uganda, from the smiling mouths of a generally disappointed public. Also, from the appreciative mouth of a volunteer who relishes the opportunity to live life in a hazy cloud of vague abstractions.
An interesting article by a returned Peace Corps Volunteer about the importance of failing. (See, I told you I was important.)
“Kamwe kamwe nigo muganda” –> One by one, we make a bundle
