Today we took a break from our usual work and spent a day as tourists. We headed over to Jinja to check out the Nile. Yes, the Nile…the longest river in the world which flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. We rode in a boat to see the source of the river…a spring that flowed [...]

It’s 6:13 AM Tuesday morning. I’m lying in my bed right now typing in the dark. I was just awakened by a single voice from across the road. It’s a man singing to Allah. I’ve woken up to this voice most mornings since I have been here in Uganda. Across the road from where our [...]

TIA…THIS IS AFRICA
Posted on 13. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
A little phrase we have learned here is TIA…standing for “This is Africa”. Learned this from Patrick, our Ugandan liaison for Cornerstone. So when we are driving and a motorcycle is speeding in between our van and a mac truck on a narrow dirt road we all say…”TIA”. Or when we see cows eating garbage [...]
