These ladies are part of a group of ten widows we are investing in by providing agriculture training and farm implements
Our friend David Harding, a water and agriculture specialist, explains to the women the benefits of the morenga tree, or as he calls it, the "miracle tree." The seeds can help purify any kind of water, and the leaves are nutritious to eat.

The most popular mode of transport in Kaberamaido
Pictured here with local leaders is a group of ten "Arrow Boys" (former village defenders) we are investing in by providing agricultural training and farm implements. The group also includes two women.
Obama?
There is one orphanage in Kaberamaido. Here we see some of the children learning how to dig, plant and tend a garden.
Some of the kids gave me a great chance to get some good photos.
We'll be returning to the orphanage in June with a small team from the U.S. to do VBS activities and sports with the kids.
The orphanage also doesn't have enough mosquito nets for all of the children - I'd say that only about half of the children sleep under them. The team coming in June is also coming with mosquito nets, and we'll give them enough to cover each child.
Then we started doing some funny faces!

Lake Kyoga, on the edge of Kaberamaido district
Just next to the lake is a small, rather impoverished fishing village called Keller Port.

There is a small "market" by the water's edge where people sell the catch of the day.
On this particular day we bought three Nile Perch and took them home for supper in Ugandan fashion - hanging from the front of the car!
