Life in Katakwi

I have been living in katawi the last 3 weeks where their is no power running water or internet. I have really enjoyed life their I stayed at an in for a few days and then found a roomate who had a place in town. We poop in brick sized holes in cement and drink from Bore holes. I have gotten to learn cooking on a carcoil stove and kerosene. almost every body in they district lives in mud brick houses with thatchet roof. Every day a come back from the field with new crazy stories of things that happened. I have gotten to work in my first IDP( Internally Displaced People) camp that has been around moving for 18 year and at it's largest held 8 thousand people but now only a hundred or so. They were there because of the kalamajung who are a neighboring tribe that believe all cows belong to them. There is more to the story than that and I will write about it later. I have become a veterinarian and de wormed 4 puppies and one kitten on separt occasions. One of our Spray teams has been shot at by the kalamajung but that sub region was far from where I have been working in Magoro. Magoro has been my favourite place in Africa because on the People the location and the food. It has 5 mountains around it and 4 lakes. People have been teaching me many games and I have become a very good motorcycle rider. Lots of new things and experiences counseling mothers with children with deformity and all sorts of other issues that are surprisingly similar to the US. I how the elections go fairly. Out for now.
