A Different Kind of Africa

I have made it to Uganda! I loved it within the first 10 minutes, but trying to pace myself. We have 2 more days of traveling before we end up in my Ugandan home village of Kacheri.

Ya see, to get to Kacheri from the capitol of Kampala, first you drive 5 hours on paved roads. And then you drive 8 more hours on dirt roads. Kenneth says it's as far away from society that you can possibly get around here. 4 hours to the nearest running water source. 

I am with Kenneth and Kristi Williams, and their 7 children: Ezra, Izzy, Zion, Achuka, Selah, Veah, and Rikot. from ages 17 months to 8! I LOVE THEM!!! They are such an amazing family. I was showered with welcome cards and picked flowers from the children. Yesterday at the guest house, we fed bread to monkeys from our hands.We sat in the yard with about 12 of them. It was really awesome!! 


their blog is www.williamsinthewilderness.co

m if you'd like to read more about them. Kristi's sister, Kerri and her husband Andrew also live there, and their blog is http://www.joyofmine.blogspot.com/. It has pictures of Kacheri and my hut home! I am ready to be there. Living in village with the Ugandans, eating what they eat, living how they live, seeing how they see...
