A glimpse of Uganda - Introduction

Let me give you a glimpse of Uganda

THE PEARL OF AFRICA – is what Winston Churchill once called Uganda. And he had a point!

Since 2004 I have been travelling on 12 occasions to this sub-Saharan country in the centre of Africa, perched on the equator.

My main reasons for making those regular trips are of humanitarian nature as I have started some kind of small and private social development project.

However, in this little “report” I would like to focus on the country and her people, the daily life, the beauty, the nature and the blessings of this small African country.

And whilst the narrative will be an important part in this story, the main focus should be on the visual.

And in doing so, I wish to thank all my many friends in Uganda for allowing me to meet them and to capture some of their daily lives.

I have tried to bring this report into some kind of order under a variety of ‘topics’

I might also add that in all my trips – since a lot of my time is spent working there, rather than doing touristy things – my main focus has, by the nature of my visits, been the capital Kampala. But on a few occasions I have ventured further through the country and got to know at least some parts outside Kampala.
