long story short about this photo.
betsy, the girl who was doing my job before me, did some work out in a village called bugembe (near jinja) with this grandmother called jaja aminah, who apparently was looking after 19 orphans. i think what happened was one of jaja's goats died, so betsy's mom (a grade 2 teacher in ontario) and her grade 2 class raised enough money to buy jaja 2 more goats.
guess who got the job of finding and buying the goats and delivering them???
(well, actually i got some local help...)
but it was a riot. and jaja, now apparently looking after 34 orphans (!!!!!??) was estatic with her new twin goats.
in the photo is me and tanu, with jaja, the goats, and a lady who was helping jaja out.
there you go betsy, i did it!!!
