Caught up with the kids' bus as we were leaving the office. Kids looked tired from a long trip (some had been in the car for 8 hrs. already!) but really excited. Drove to Jinja with Richard, the driver that picked me up for the airport; Joy, one of the social workers that works with the kids in Masaka; and Jessica, a Peace Corps volunteer from Texas who had been working on HIV/AIDS programs at a rural hospital for over a year. It was Jessica that let me know that Uganda doesn't look as developed as Kampala (which, by U.S. standards, isn't all that developed...). 75% of the country has no running water, even less have electricity, etc.
