A Touch of Africa

I recently spend ten days in Uganda serving on a Medical Mission Trip. I met so many amazing people that were all so gracious for the very little that they had. Over the 5 days we served at Isaac Clinic in Wakiso we saw 650 patients, handed out more than 300 pairs of eyeglasses, and had over 200 people accept Jesus Christ. It was a truly life changing trip and I wanted to share a little bit of what it was like to live in Uganda.



Katie got away for a few minutes and spent time with this sweet girl, she was too precious.



Me and sweet baby Eddie. He came to visit me while I was working in the lab.

A major amount of the Ugandans time is spent walking to and from the well to get water. Most of the homes don't have water or electricity.



The Ugandan countryside looked like these... filled with homes without water or electricity, they took pride in what they had and kept the houses clean. You would be driving along and all of a sudden there would be cows on the side of the road.



A Ugandan home, Children and women would be outside the homes a lot of the time. They used this space to cook, wash clothes, and spend time with one another.



The shoe of choice while we were in Africa was TOMS since the soil carried parasites.
