Being back in the town of Soroti left us feeling quite nostalgic! We have great memories from these dusty streets...back when Matt was working in an engine lab to provide back-up electricity for Pilgrim's secondary school and when I was working with Pilgrim's counselors to meet the needs of traumatized kids (as a result of the war). We enjoyed introducing Zeph to the sights and sounds (mostly bicycles, birds, and goats) of Soroti. In the picture below he is facinated by a near-by goat and is trying to say "maaaaaa maaaaa."
One afternoon we walked over to the school to reconnect with people there. Here's Matt in front of the engine lab:
I was so blessed to find that Gabriel, one of the students that I worked with in 2007 was now the "Head Boy." He recognized me right away and gave me an update on how many of our mutual friends were doing. Here you can see me and Gabriel and our friends back in the day. :)
