Winged Migration: Are there Krows in Africa?

The past week has been hot and dusty with lots of hours spent traveling in a van from one site to the next. After leaving Kampala Monday morning we (I'm traveling with my medical director Jared and our Regional Physician Andrew) drove to our site in Kabwohe which is in SW Uganda. It's about a 7 hour drive. Along the way we saw a herd of Zebras by the side of the road. Normally in Uganda you only see animals in the game reserves so that was very special. Monday night we were invited to celebrate with site staff the opening of their new building. The celebration included a singing group, a huge feast and cake and all the local leaders and staff members attended. Tuesday morning we toured the site and then headed 7 hours back to Kampala. Wednesday we went to our site in Kampala where I was given a beautiful bouquet of roses and lilies, we took the study coordinators out to lunch at this great Indian restaurant and then headed to Jinja which is two hours from Kampala. We spent the night in the rainforest at the Rainforest lodge (we each had our own banda (hut) and watched the monkeys jump through the trees and listened to the very loud night sounds. Thursday morning we toured Jinja site then headed 3 hours to Mbale (near where the recent mud slides have been)and visited our site there. Friday morning we drove to Tororo ( an hour from Mbale), visited our site in Tororo and then drove across the border to Kenya and on to Kisumu (on the shores of Lake Victoria). It's been about 90 degrees each day and very hot and humid at night. The drive from Tororo to Kisumu took about 4 hours on extremely rough road with no AC in the van so we were very sweaty and covered in dust when we arrived. Today we visit the Kisumu site and then fly to Nairobi tonight. I'll post some pictures today from the drive to Kabwohe and some videos. The first video is an orphan group of HIV positive kids that performed at the Kabwohe ceremony. The Kabwohe clinic supports them and provides their HIV medication. The other two videos are a local drama group that is singing the praises of their local government leader (who is also the PI of the clinic) who was at the ceremony.Hope everyone is doing well at home!
