Uganda: Getting home …

Here in Uganda we have noticed the many modes of transportation for getting bedkits to their new homes.

The road into the distribution was long and bumpy on our bus today. We were slowed down by a herd of cattle that moved at a very slow pace despite our honking.

Many children came from far away villages and had to share transportation with other children on the way home. It is common to see one large truck with 50 to 60 bedkits and their new owners as well as the children’s families.

We have seen other modes of transport such as motorcycles and bikes carrying numerous bedkits at a time and many children walking with the pails on their heads.

Rain or shine they proudly wave as we make our way on the long and bumpy road to the next distribution.
