Pictures

This is a blog post of pictures, given that I haven’t really shown any for a while. I figured I’d put them on one blog and then put them up at an internet café (room with computers that you can pay to use) where I have sufficient internet. Let’s start with the Introduction from June 16th (I hope I have the right date). I blogged about it before but with no photos. This is me with a kanzu, common formal wear for men among the Muganda (the ethnic group where Kampala is). The other woman is wearing part of a gomesi, the female formal wear. She had taken part of it off because the thing was over. The picture was taken in what would be like the “living room” of the guesthouse where I stayed while in Kampala. When wearing these, you usually put a sports jacket over it, hence why I was wearing a sports jacket. (Oh and she’s one of the workers at the Kampala office.)

The next two are from two different dance performances.

This next one is at the presentation of the cake. I believe they are igniting the sparklers when it was taken. I find the facial and body language to be awesome. This is the bride to be with her her “eldest brothers” (they were pretending).

 Now for some pictures of my school where I am.



 This is a picture of the Last Supper, made by some of the students many years ago for a competition.

This is a picture of the resurrection, another art project. It reminds me of Church of the Ascension, my home church in Pittsburgh, which has a large painting of the resurrection in the front of the sanctuary. The door on the left next to it is the door where I stayed in for a week and is now my office. 

If you go into that door on the left, you’ll see this room, currently my office. Hanging up is my Kanzu. This hook is high enough up for a body-length article of clothing.

This is the room I now stay in, with Charles. The bed on the left is mine, and the other his.

These are of all the students at the school. It was taken at a school-wide fellowship (like chapel at Wheaton). It’s taken in the school library. The teachers are not in this picture, being one of them, they were next to me and beyond view of the camera. The library is usually the room that I teach in: all but one of my classes is in there.

 I will have more pictures soon, hopefully in the next week.
