Gulu - Day 1

we made the trek from Kampala to Gulu

the road was a vast improvement from what we had experienced last time

the trip did take about 5 hours altogether

and we were once again blown away by how amazing our accommodations were

...

we were up for a 6am breakfast to be ready to be at the work site by 7am

we wanted to get working as soon as possible as it gets quite hot in the afternoons in Gulu

Watoto provides skilled workers to work alongside us as we build - and we all have a blast getting to know each other, butchering each other’s name, and making fun of each other

it was a very productive morning and we wrapped up early, having done all we could do for the day - I must say, I’m very impressed with this team

...

we are back to the build site tomorrow and they have assured us that if we finish early - they will create more work for us

...

ps - I am in the process of finding nicknames for each of the team members (details coming soon)

  2. Thanks for the pictures! The picture of the 'perfect circle' hut is cool. Glad to hear you are doing well.
