Thanks to all of you who wrote with concern about the devastating mudslide that occurred in Uganda on Monday. The affected area is in eastern Uganda on the Kenyan border near Mt. Elgon and is one of the most densely populated areas of Uganda. As of today’s figures, 81 have died and over 350 missing. My district is expected to have heavier rains for a longer period of time this rainy season which will probably wash out many dirt roads. I am sending the picture of the home across from me so that you can easily understand how quickly these homes can wash away. This a typical home for so many Ugandans. The top picture is the outside kitchen and store room; the bottom is the house.
