Friday, June 10th: Today we drove to the most remote and undeveloped clinic we have seen in Uganda. It is called Kanyashogye, located in a very mountainous region within a town called Mpungu. I didn’t think it was possible for the roads to get any worse, but I was once again proven wrong! However, the spectacular mountain and valley views afforded by this drive made every bump and compressed vertebrae worth it.
Driving off the “main road” and down the side road to the clinic, we passed an elementary school. I have never seen so many children running and screaming in excitement. As our van drove by, they were all waving and cheering. I guess this is what it feels like to be a rock star. (click here to see Uganda kids running at school)
