Among others I met in Uganda was Agnes, who lived in a rural community about 100km outside of Kampala. Agnes prepared for our visit by meticulously sweeping her red-dirt yard of stones, leaves and other debris until it resembled low-pile carpet. Upon our arrival she greeted us humbly then walked us around her property, proudly presenting her recently-built water-collection and storage system, designed to take advantage of the intermittent and increasingly unpredictable rains. To Western sensibilities this 'system' may just have been a roughly-shoveled ditch and a hole you had to step over. To Agnes this was a long-awaited and revolutionary development in her home's infrastructure and a leap forward in her family's capacity to maintain a reliable water supply for cleaning and cooking. Later, Agnes would be receiving supplies to make a biogas system--which uses methane (i.e. cow doo) versus raw wood as fuel--so that she will no longer have to have open fire within the walls of her home to cook for her family [the effects of which are evident in the photo of her standing in her doorway]. Agnes has a beautiful, happy family & she was thrilled to have visitors. We were thrilled to meet her. This was one of the most humbling experiences I've had fortune to have in my travels.
