I remember the first time I went craft shopping in Uganda. It was a visual feast of culture. I tried to buy something from every one to make them happy, and it was my pleasure to do so. That way I was also free to photograph the scene without causing problems. It is considered rude … Continue reading Opening wings to fly.
There’s no easy way to get to Uganda. The only tactic that works for me to be able to endure the 24 hours of travel is to arrive at the airport completely spent so the only thing I feel like doing is sleep and watch movies. I have been trained to believe the international flights … Continue reading Home in Uganda
The children finished school for the term yesterday. The school has a sports day to end the term and all of our children participated. We were so proud of all the children.

There’s … Continue reading Culture Clash
