Dear Friends and Family:
We arrived here on Wednesday and leave tomorrow, Saturday, for Gulu, Uganda where we'll be doing a VETCAP with cattle, goats, sheep, poultry and dogs..and perhaps a few pigs. This will be involving a fairly large number of animals, estimated to be >40,000 based on previous work in that area. The work centers around Internally Displaced Persons camps that have been there since fighting in northern Uganda uprooted many thousands of people years ago. All stable now and peaceful but the people still are there and livestock is a big part of the economy for them and others.

I have attached a few pictures taken here in Uganda since we arrived. Tree perching storks are not uncommon in urban east Africa and Kampala is no exception - the attached was taken from the window of a restaurant not far from the Uganda Parliament building.
The sign is at the Entebbe airport where the rescue of the hostages took place in 1976.
All the best,
jf
