buyingi
Elizabeth took this picture while we workshop students were in the village of Buyingi in the distict of Rakai. It just found its way to me yesterday. I love it. It immediately takes me back to the feelings of pure joy the children had upon seeing one of us "mazungu" walk down the road. The kids just ran up and grabbed a hand, a finger, an arm, whatever was available, or just skipped alongside. It's hard to describe how utterly wonderful this can make you feel. At least, that's how it made ME feel. I can't help looking at this and just smiling. I also can't help looking at this and trying to figure out how soon I can return to Africa.
