Uganda: Stark Contrasts

From Uganda Photos 2010

We are now a quarter way through our journey. We have had the pleasure of meeting 1,500 beautiful Ugandan children. The team had a great (but long) day distributing 1,000 bedkits in two districts: Mpigi and Kampala.

Sir Franicis Bacon said: “In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present."

We encounter the very same each and every day.

We see so many children in need, yet there is a light and joy of life not often experienced in the western world. The peoples here hold each and every healthy day here so dear and it is in each day’s contrast that the beauty of Uganda is so clearly seen:

• The vibrant red dirt, the whitest of white shirt.
• Unimaginable heat, beautiful deep green vegetation.
• Difficult infrastructure, while supporting a sea of movement (people walking, riding, driving).
• A pair of mismatched shoes …
