Kapchorwa is situated in a beautiful part of eastern Uganda
It's so beautiful you can't bear to just sit inside the car and look out the window - you have to pop out of the top of the van to get the full panoramic!

Two of the Sudanese guys we sponsor in school, Barakat and Abraham, were on school holiday, so they joined us for the trip to Kapchorwa!
You must know that anyone who passes through these parts simply must take a couple hours to hike Sipi Falls.

Sipi Falls. The day was perfect for some great photos, and as you will see, I just couldn't help taking a lot!

Hi!
Just over the two small hills in the distance lies a village called Greek. This is a community of formerly displaced people near the Kenyan border where we are working to help them build a community center.

It takes about two hours to drive out to Greek from the nearest town, but the landscape is beautiful.
The road leading into Greek. I decided not to take my camera out in Greek this time, because I just wanted to focus on being there and talking with people.
On the outskirts of the village, though, we came across these kids as we stopped the van.
Looking at their reflection in the side of the van
I just like this boy's posture. Don't worry - he wasn't angry with us! : )
Greek has grown very much in the past few months. Before, there were no homes out this far from the center of the village.
Signs of Progress: We were surprised to find a drilling team digging a borehole just outside Greek. An aid organization is sponsoring three boreholes there and has almost finished construction of a health clinic.
