Project Trip Photos

I didn't take too many pictures this time, because several of the guys had excellent cameras, but here's a few that I took, for your viewing pleasure:
Watoto Babies' Home in Gulu
We visited Watoto's Children's Village and Babies' Home on Sunday during our project trip.  I played some clapping and ring-around-the-rosie-type games with a group of girls at the children's village.  Then we sat down and sang songs and played some games with a salvaged piece of string.  At the babie's home, I got to play with one of the babies for a little while, who soon occupied himself with chewing on my finger.  =)  Babies are rescued (or sometimes handed over) by Watoto and cared for at this separate site until they are old enough (1 or 2) to be placed in a home with children of all ages at the children's village. 

At the end of the trip (I still promise to write more about the actual project trip later), we all went on a short safari at a nearby game park (the same place where we went after our project trip last September).


Um, yeah. Our van was literally about 10 feet away. Truly amazing!


Some people rode on top of the van for a better view.  And yes, they were there when we were 10 feet from the lions!

Baby giraffes everywhere!



Pretty amazing safari!!
