Two girls living in an internally displaced persons camp in northern Uganda
(They are sitting on top of a large ant hill)



There are so many children everywhere and they always love to have their picture taken

Gulu town in northern Uganda

How much can be loaded onto one truck??

Bicycles lined up outside of a church...no cars in the parking lot

Men and women in the camp singing and dancing

A local instrument








Food drying in the sun








Little girl pumping water to carry back to her home

This old man really wanted us to take a picture of him holding his radio



Grinding flour


So much time is consumed in just surviving and getting food and water.




The camp is one hut after another. About 6 people live in each hut.

Drying clothes

School


Writing

For school, the lesson is written on the board and then all the students copy the lesson in their book. There are no text books, desks, or chairs in this school so the students just sit on the floor.



A latrine-- there is only one for every 30-40 people


Gifts from children in Holland being distributed to the children in the resettlement schools and camps


This school has around 980 students



Teaching in a setting like this with no curriculum is difficult to say the least!

These young men were so exicted to get the sunglasses in their gift box they were dancing around and laughing



Bubbles

Girls getting their gifts

Sharing





A typical scene all throughout Sub-Saharan Africa is women roasting maize on charcoal stoves


Drying cassava


Hopeful
