Here are some random pictures from the trip...
At the top we are riding in the back of a truck. That is our usual transportation when we travel in a group. If I am by myself I usually take a boda to go to town. A boda is like a motorcycle but a little bit smaller, and I hang on for dear life when I jump on one of those! The roads here are awful!
The next picture is of me dancing with the kids, we had another dance party last night for our director, Amy's birthday. We have had 6 dance party's in the last 7 nights!
We went to a house in Kampala that is called the Bavubuka house and it is an outreach program for kids around Kampala to come and work on different fine art projects, such as signing, rapping, dancing, art, creating and making clothes, etc. It is such a great thing they are doing there! The goal of the house is to get kids off the streets and help them find a purpose in life and teach them how to give back to thier community.
The last picture is of our group and the members of the Bavubuka house. All these people are passionate about helping the children of Uganda find purpose for thier lives! Love it!

WOW! i love it.
your sharing is great! powerful moments...from the contentment at St. Jude despite seemingly desparate circumstances, to dance parties nightly, to sharing your math wisdom with Denis:)
