Photos

ok here are some pictures

Love maz



here is little Jenny. She is often at Bushikori clinic with her mum, as her big sister violet has burns. She is such a cutie and runs to me when ever I arrive with her tummy always sticking out. She loves to throw herself on the ground. At least she doesnt have far to fall.



Here is little Violet. She was trying to be mummy and cook dinner when her dress caught on fire. her mum brought her in to the clinic and was tld to bring her back everyday but she didnt come back. Back in the village poor little violets flesh started rotting away so much so that the lady who lived in the hut next door could smell her rotting flesh. So that lady brought violet back to the clinic where she has been ever since. So she is always ready to play with me when I arrive at bushikori.

here are some snaps from the IDP camp Pabbor in Gulu. It is the largest IDP camp.






this is nt an uncommon sight to see a little kid carrying a very little kid on their back. hmmm i wonder how many get dropped on their heads. At least over here the little children learn how to be very responsible very quickly.






Here I am with the group of kidies that followed me everywhere. sorry its not a very clear photo.


Here is some cute little orphans. We visited as orphanage that actually adopts the kids so no one else can. They have a mum for 10 kids and a cute playground and schooling facilities. The little girl on the left (so my right) was born in captivity. Her mum was an abducted child that was given to a senior soldier to be his wife. She most likely was a girl of 13-17yrs old. The mum was then killed when the UPDF soldiers attacked the LRA and so they brought the baby she had strapped to her back to this orphanage.

Hey Maz,
Thanks for keeping us so well updated on life in Uganda. It's great to have pictures so we can "see" what you're seeing. Are the little girl's burns healing, or has too much damage been done?
