a few images of uganda =)

maybe ill talk more about them later, but for now, just a few pictures of life here... for us and for the people we meet.

our visit to a slum just a short walk from the university... the water hole where kids come to collect water

the kids are adorable... posing for the camera and squealing with joy when i show them. note to self: bring a polaroid camera next time im in africa!

the little guy in green had a field day following us around, clapping and laughing and singing “mzungu, mzungu!!” as he marched along with the other kids

such sweeties... the kids really take care of each other

smiles all around sharing my water bottle with them

and us... our class “under the mango tree”... talking with a community that was evicted from their homes when a hydro-electric dam was constructed and resettled in this area

the community-run school in there that welcomingly squishes 160 students into its walls...

and just for fun... fast food “drive through” service on the bus

goat on a stick =)

and a sunny day at bugajali falls, in Jinja, the “source of the nile”

definitely very lucky to be getting a chance to see a lot here. we’re leaving on sunday for a week in a rural village in Mbale, an area in eastern uganda, to see some local organizations there. ill be back the sunday after, so have a good week and we’ll talk soon. =)

much love!
