Back from Uganda!

So Uganda was awesome! This post is going to try and sum up the whole week and what we did and what I thought. This is going to be a long one so feel free to take it in parts. I will also be including some sweet pictures of things. Here we go.

So I was given the chance to be the person from the Deep South Team to head to Uganda for a week to get a better understanding of the programs that Invisible Children has there. I am not going to say it was ALL work, because we did have some fun!

This is our trip through Kampala as we headed to Gulu.



We toured through Owino Market in Kampala, which was an experience in itself. There were all sorts of people grabbing from the left and right telling you to come and check out their wares. We went on a game drive through one of the national parks in Uganda. Yes we really got this close to a giraffe! We rode on a boat on the Nile to see Murchison Falls, the most powerful waterfall in the entire world.



This waterfall channels the Nile, which is 49 meters wide at the top into a 6 meter gap. It is truly amazing.



This is me and one of my friends from the California-Pacific Team on the boat ride:



I will write about the programs and work events that we learned about big time! (Should be up in the next couple of days.)
