My Nothern Uganda Children

By Gertrude Tumusiime Uwitware

I had a great time when I visited Amuru District, northern Uganda. There, I met a few children.

There is a previous post about this, but because I believe my words could not really say it all, I went back to my Gallery and got all the photographs I took while there with the children.

These are the pictures my friend looked at and commented that.."Ugliness is synonymous with Poverty as placed in the post."

I really disagree, these children amused me because of one thing, that even when they are poor, they smile about life, and to me happiness is the best gift you can give to anyone.

Sweet ones had gone to fetch water, they could not stop staring at the car we were in, I stole this shot.

This one ran after the car, he looks like an NRM supporter.

She asked me to take a picture of her, she has never got a copy though.

Then she called ll her friends, to come and pose for a photo.

The rest also asked for photos, they posed, smiled and made friends with me.

Oh, the poses went further, I even saw some movie star stunts.

Vulnerable but happy kids.

We really had a good time.

All poses featured here.

Dear African children.who holds your feature?

Random shots

Keen on something or what?

He posed too..honey.

Then.....they asked to have me in, and they taught me how to say smile, they say Nyer......

By the time i left Amuru, i was called Aber..meaning, the Beautiful, i also had a friend.
