Waterfalls & Mystery; Learning & Dysentery

 

For the past few months, I have been on the Kapkwomboloi Construction Site in Kapchorwa district. It is one of the most gorgeous construction sites you could ever imagine. The site is set along a river that is hidden away by crescent shaped cliffs. Over the rim of the cliffs bursts Cheptui falls, spraying life to the valley.

Connecting Uganda and Kenya: A story of a divided people coming together after conflict

I have recently been overwhelmed by migraines, but I was finally able to rejoin Sylvia so we could continue performing technical assessments and decide where to place our next eight cable bridges. While Sylvia laid out the center line and determined elevations and distances of points along the center line, I had the honor of talking with the community. I explained who we were and what we were doing, but most of all I listened to the community as they told me their story.

Guess where I am?

A few weekends back I moved to Western Uganda to begin assessing the needs for bridges in the region.  Before beginning my work, I took a mini vacation with some friends from the University of Colorado.
