Emmaus Guesthouse

by | Jun 27, 2008 | Africa, Travel

Thought I’d give you guys a wee glimpse of one of the FOL guesthouses, Emmaus. I’m currently staying in their other guesthouse, Shalom, but Emmaus is just up the road a short walk, and it has stunning views out over the countryside & the city…

Not bad, eh?! Check out the Fields Of Life website to see more of what the charity does. There isn’t much information on the guesthouse online (in fact, there’s pretty much none!), but I’m working on that! I’m designing a brochure for the guesthouses which will either be put online as a PDF or reworked into the site to include online booking.

Design Work

This morning I’m doing some research on designing a calendar, and on designing a brochure for the Fields Of Life guesthouses here in Kampala. It’s been fairly relaxed so far, nothing to strenuous, as I’m just taking it easy and getting acclimatised. At the weekend four different teams from Northern Ireland will be arriving, so all the staff in the guesthouses are busy busy busy preparing for that. Then things will really kick off!

I’ll be taking some photographs over the next week or two of the two guesthouses, Shalom and Emmaus, trying to capture them at their best. If you’ve got any experience of interior photography, leave a comment or drop me a line and give me some advice!!
