a view of Southern Uganda

I wanted to show you the capital city, Kampala, in the South of Uganda, first so that then you have a context for understanding the North of the country. Looks impoverished right? Can you imagine this is what we first saw when we arrived... knowing that the North would be even more run down? That definitely made me curious to get to the North and see the comparison.

Here we are all of us (from Loyola Chicago, from UIC, and Father Leonsyo) piled into a 'mutatu', which is basically a small van used as a taxi. This is the view through the window out to the road through Kampala, the capital.
