Uganda: Hello, Muzungu!

From Day 9
The Uganda Team was "on the road" for a few days. They sent this report & photos just before they left.

"Hello Muzungu!"

As we travel through Uganda, the team encounters the incredible warmth of the Ugandan people. Whether it be a warm embrace from a distribution helper, a welcome song by the children, or mothers dancing in celebration of our arrival.

Our particular favourites are the constant waves to us on the bus and children yelling "Hello, muzungu, how are you?" as they run alongside. (Muzungu is the local word meaning "white face.")

In so many ways, we are welcomed into the community. The people here are joyous, kind, and so very gracious.
