This concerns the majority of my work. Procurement, delivery, installation and construction of crossing points for roads we have built. Here a nice one that is about half-way done.
A long road we are almost finished with. We construct these roads in the hope that farmland and other important livelihoods will be more accessible in this incredibly fertile region. But since IDPs (refugees) haven't been home for over 15 years because of the war, there is little infrastructure required for the framework of a viable society.

Thanks for the update buddy! Am thinking of you back here in cold and rainy New York and subsequently longing for more tropical latitudes such as the one in which you find yourself.
ReplyDeletePrinicipally, thanks for the passages about Uganda's war-torn past - I understand the context in which you work much better now.
Love the pictures too - keep it coming friend.
Miss you, see you in NYC in the not-so-distant future.
