On Thursday, we traveled to the east of Uganda, tightroped the border of Kenya, and visited Sippi Falls and New Hope Orphanage in Busia. Both of these experiences were tremendous. Check out the subtitles in the pictures of the orphanage and check them out on the web. They have 110 kids, many of whom were abandoned, and two more arrived while we were there. I held a two month old who was healthy and beautiful. Meeting these people was one of my highlights of our entire summer. We left at 6:00 a.m. and retuned at 9:30 p.m. and did not stop. By the way, I know you will think from these waterfall pictures that we escaped to Hawaii, but I assure you that we are still in Uganda.

Some of the brilliant kids at New Hope in Busia

This is just one room and there are 39 in this room.
Many of them sleep two to a bed. Yes, that is right four per bunk
bed and many do not have mosquito nets. This should be fixed immediately.
