I am officially in love with Karamoja.  It's the only part of Uganda that I actually enjoy being in.  I will come back here someday.

Yesterday I helped to plait one of the housegirls' hair, impressed everyone with my apparently speedy braiding skills (who knew?), had some nakarimojong language lessons, and discovered the 3-day-old puppies at the guesthouse.  I spent about 3 hours last night hanging out with a couple that just arrived in Moroto to work with SP, the two housegirls, two children, the guard, the lady who runs the guesthouse, and her sister-in-law (who is just back from living for several years with her family in Holland, and is now working with Mama Janet in agriculture & development).  The two children had never been to school before, and guy working with SP was teaching them how to use a computer.  The guard doesn't know any English.  He's also never been to school.  We were teaching him how to say the letters that spell his name.  He thought that saying the letter "P" was the greatest sound ever.
