Finally some pictures!


I tried posting the pictures in order, but don't feel like spending too much time on that. I think everyone would rather that just posted more pictures.


Do you ever wonder where your straws end up?

The cows in the dump drinking untreated water... these cows belong to someone who can not afford to get water for his cows and because of that, his family will pay by eating all the chemicals and contaminants

Lauren, the med students, and out tour guide at the water treatment plant

Yam farm, on the bottom you can see the barbed wire fence of the dump. We are trying to get some of these yams and test them for contamination.

My birthday feast in progress, thank you Lauren.

Shabbat setup, those are the laffa I was telling you aboutOur backyard, crazy birds all the time

View from the back of a matatu or shared taxi... everyone is gathered around a TV watching a soccer game

Hey Danny,
First-time comment for me - but I wanted to say happy birthday - and I am really enjoying reading about all of your experiences in Uganda! Very cool pictures too - I liked the bed caption (naturally). Also, really sad about all of the contamination going into the animals and food - looks like they could really use a good clean-up effort, if that's even possible...

Hey Dan!
Your B-day feast looks wonderful! Lauren, you outdid yourself. As for the laffa, did you make those? Did you find any Magen David for Shabbat? The pictures were great! Thanks, MOM

Danny,

I'm sharing this, my first post with Nono And Meme. We love the photos and the comments! I'm resigned to never eating anymore straws again!

Do tell us more about the Laffa. Are there any other vegetables that you can easily procure?

Happy Birthday (armand) and Happy Independance Day & Shabbat Shalom!

BTW, I had a wonderful dinner with your mom last night. She is so proud of you! Ans we all are too
