Uganda Photo Tour

It was originally my intention to put all of these photos in some sort of grouping that told the story of the Uganda trip, but due to time restraints and the fact that all of images were uploaded randomly, they will appear in no particular order. I did, however, label some of them to give you a brief idea of what exactly it is you're looking at. Enjoy.

After each crusade the local worship team that was taking us around
would preform for the crowds. This is some of the children dancing.

On the way home from Uganda we stopped at a new cathedral
that was being built. It gives you an idea of Ugandan construction.

One of the schools to which we spoke.

Thumbs up!

We visited a rock mining site where women, after rolling huge
boulders down this hill, smash them into smaller and
smaller pieces until they can be sold as gravel.

Benjamin and I at the Ground breaking ceremony in Apac for a new
Community Bldg. As the ground-breakers, we were told our names will be carved
into the building. An interesting and unexpected addition to the trip...

Those who wished to accept Christ for the first time
were to raise their hands.

Hope you enjoyed this unorganized photo tour. I finished the short video of the trip today as well, so I hope to post that by the end of the week.
