Uganda Trip-8

The last place we visited in the Koro/Bobi ADP area was an IDP. We had visited several of them during the week and this one that we visited was the saddest. It was the dirtiest and the most crowded one that we saw. The reason Christine took us there was to visit a child-headed household. There were six children in the family and a sixteen year-old was the head of the house. When we arrived, she and the fourteen year-old were off getting food, but we saw the four younger children. There were a lot of children in the IDP and they gathered around us in the crowded conditions. The following pictures are those I took in that IDP. Note the small yellow "house" in the center of one of the pictures: that, according to Christine, is the shower. I have no idea how it actually worked. In one of the pictures you can see the large refuse heap at one side of the IDP. In the midst of the poverty, we still saw children with smiles.

The first picture is of three of the children in the child-headed household and the next is a scene in the camp.







Notice the picture with the little yellow "house" and the refuse pile in the foreground.

The last picture I took was of two girls, I assume sisters, and their beautiful smiles as we left the IDP camp.
