Uganda (The Nile)


April & I flew from Amsterdam to Entebbe, Uganda on July 17th.
On July 18th we met many from our team with Hope4Kids International. We'd all become good friends in the days ahead.
Here is Tom Eggum, founder of Hope4Kids International. He is introducing Bobby who is from Uganda and Tom's best friend. Bobby is also Hope4Kids main driver in Uganda. He manages the buses to and from each day's outreach.
April enjoying a coffee with Heidi. Heidi's from Orange County & this is her 1st mission trip to Africa.
On the bus for the 6 hour drive to Tororo, Uganda; our base for the next 10 days.
One very COOL stop along our drive was The Nile River.
We also got to see the SOURCE of the Nile River near Lake Victoria.
We put on our life jackets...
...found a nice wooden boat & sailer...
...and set out for an interesting tour.
Right here is the SOURCE of The Nile.
The source bubbles up out of the river and then flows north from Lake Victoria.

We did a little shopping near The Nile too. Colorful market with cute stuff.
Heidi & April on the left. Carol Anne from Virginia on the right.

Fascinated with the building structure and the grass roof being installed.
More sights along our drive...
Rice Fields.
Baboons.
Cute baby baboon.
They liked the bananas we threw out the windows.
I liked this boat.
I liked this day.
God is Good.
