Water Carrier

As you can tell I am constantly impressed with what these young people have to do just to get water to their homes. This girl is about 10 years old.

Where's Waldo(Carol)

Sister Beachley has been volunteering at a local deaf school. Here she is surrounded by her new friends. Can you find her?

While in Utah we met Robinah. She is from this village. Included here are her mother, mother-in-law, sister, uncle and friends. Her brother, Fred, is taking the picture. Without him we would never have found the village(and no one would ever have found us). Ugandans are the friendliest, most gracious people we have ever met.

Speed Bumps? We don't need no stinking speed bumps!

These are the potholes we have to deal with daily. Our speed is limited to about 40 kilometers per hour(28 MPH) in the city. We can, on occasion, reach 40 MPH but with the other traffic considerations, who wants to.

Traffic? Yeah we got traffic.

I took this yesterday as I was driving through the "downtown" district. As you can see most of the vehicles pictured are taxis.

No more whining about chores.

These kids are carrying water from the well to their homes. This is a daily occurence and the big "Jerry" cans weigh about 40 pounds. The younger kids are taught the procedure using smaller cans. The kids here get there water from a well created by the Church's humanitarian missionaries.

New Hope Orphanage

The church's humanitarian department has done a lot of work with the New Hope orphanage. We visited the "turning over" ceremony as the church handed over all projects to the directors. There are 400 students in this school. These are only a few.
