Kanungu

Eh up!

I was in Kanungu today. A quick search of Kanungu on Google shows that it's really only famous for two things at the moment.

The first is the terrible landslides that happened here just last week, in which 3 children were killed. Thankfully, the rains are finished here now, and the risk of this happening here soon is very low.

The second is the Kanungu Massacre, which is notorious throughout Uganda. It involves the murder of members of a religious sect in the year 2000. They were locked in a church and it was burnt to the ground.

I, however, felt very drawn to Kanungu.

For one, a little child shouted from a bush "Muzungu! Please wave at me!"

And secondly,

I have found my place in the world.
