Story of the day: So I was walking home one day and this woman stopped me and told me about how her sister died of AIDs a month ago and her sister has a very young daughter. Then this lady asked me if I would take the daughter (as in bring the daughter back to America with me and keep her). Of course I said that I couldn't but I was shocked. This complete stranger was offering me her niece. So yeah that was kind of surprising but I guess you experience something new everyday here.

I don't think you're ready to have children yet, so you shouldn't take her.
It's so pretty! Honestly when I thought of Uganda, I just thought of really dry desert like conditions. But anyway, yeah, you're not ready for kids. Plus I think since the woman thinks you're white you must be from America where you can offer her niece.
Love the pictures and hearing your thoughts. Please post lots and lots. What an adventure. This is Russell your cousin.
