After a whirlwind two and half weeks in Kampala, we are setting off for Leontonde in Southern Uganda for the second leg of our project. In our first stint at recording, we were able to capture some great narratives and youth interviews, all in the midst of meeting with Uganda’s most esteemed Parliament Member (a big climate activist), visiting the tombs of the late Buganda kings, roaming around Nakasero Market, mastering boda rides, eating large amounts of great local food, having a few run ins with a chicken, meeting and interviewing a witchdoctor, attending two church services…generally just having a fantastic time.
At the moment we are having trouble posting our stories as the internet connection, while the best we’ve found, is still not as reliable as we would like it to be. In the rural area of Leontonde we shall be working almost solely with PARDI, and orphanage, interviewing primarily through translators at the orphanage and at children’s homes.
Love to all our friends and family, thanks for the support!
I am looking forward to some more news as you travel the country and meet new people.
