Around Mpigi...


Jen and Morgan are riding on a boda-boda, which is one of the primary modes of transportation in Mpigi. Basically, you just flag one of these guys down, negotiate a price before you get on the bike, and then go!

This is Mpigi town, where the shops and market are. The crowd of people are gathered around a witch doctor, who was shouting into a loudspeaker trying to sell herbal medicines to the crowd.


When we didn't take a boda-boda or a taxi, we walked! This is the road that leads to the church property.



We had a Uganda vs. Canada soccer game, which was really well attended! It is pretty unusual to have such a large group of mzungus (white people) in a rural area like Mpigi, so this was a big event! And yes, that really is a chicken walking across the soccer field!

This little guy came straight from church to watch the game, Bible in hand and in his Sunday best!


A typical house in Mpigi.
