Sharing some of my pictures from Uganda...

---

I am working on some entries but in the meantime I have been playing with some of the photos I have taken over the past few weeks, an attempt at letting some of my artistic side out. Rather than write an entry here describing where the pictures were taken, etc... I am adding captions to them instead.

Small Girl
This girl was quite cautious when I took her photo but once I showed her the digital picture she started to ham it up for the camera.

Boda-Bodas
These boda-bodas are waiting outside the market. Although it's dangerous riding around on their motorcycles without a helmut it's the quickest way around town during rush hour.

Ufka Boys
A few weekends ago we spent a Sunday at the Ufka House. The Ufkas are a group of about 15 orphans who live together and they are watched over by Isaac who is 22. They support themselves by performing traditional music and dance. These are two of the boys playing around that afternoon.

Omar
This is a picture of Omar, he had been with with Ufkas for about 1 month when this picture was taken. He was abducted by the LRA rebels, escaped and had spent an unknown amount of time in a IDP camp in Gulu before joining the Ufkas.

Four Kids at Ufka House
There are some of the neighborhood kids who live near the Ufka House. They came over to watch the music and dancing when the Ufkas performed that afternoon.

Yumm Watermelon
These kids came over to the Ufka House when we cutting some watermelon to help themselves to some slices.

Small Girl on Path
While in Northern Uganda this child was walking along the path from her home to the main street.

Playing in the Sandbox
These two girls were playing on a pile of sand when I happened upon them.

Three Young Boys
These three boys were curious about me as I was visiting their small town near the border with the DRC.

Women Dancing
These three women were dancing after a focus group we conducted on reproductive health practices in rural northern Uganda.
