Uganda 2008: Pictures from Africa

We hope that these pictures will help you catch a glimpse of the things we tried to capture with words.

This is Kato with baby Jordan. Jordon lives at the children's home with his younger brother Jackson. We fell in love with this little guy.

Whenever you go to the slums, you attract a lot of attention. While making our way between two houses, we looked behind us and snapped this picture.

Here's a few more of our friends from the slums. The look in their eyes do not reflect the conditions in which they live.

This is the street kid that I wrote about with the green gasoline rag.

Sometimes an image captures things words can't describe. I'll never be the same after this day.

A special thank you to Susie Typher of Colorado for the last two pictures and following photos as well...her ability to capture images amazes me.

This is Emma, he was the first baby we got to know and was the one who Katie was holding in our Cold Water and Naked Babies blog

If you can find a picture that proves me wrong, show me. Until then... here is the first Slip 'n Slide ever in Uganda.

If there is an orphan Eden, it's Busi Island. We have not stopped talking about these kids since we met them. This was some of them greeting us as we arrived.

A friend of ours is still in Africa working in Malawi. She posted a email entitled "Have you ever wanted to be famous." The attention these kids give you make you feel famous. She says that if you want to feel loved, important, cherished, come to Africa and let the children love you. This is Regan and he made me feel famous.
