The Brooklyn Record discovered an interesting blog by two residents of Windsor Terrace who are traveling in Uganda.

It’s called A&K in Uganda and it’s really interesting. Here’s an excerpt from their Christmas eve post.

I will be following their travels for sure. It would be neat if thousands of Brooklynites followed their blog and learned about life in Uganda, as well as Aimee and Kevin.

"It is December 24th and it is 9am and we are chugging down the choked
highways of Kampala toward the bus park. We are determined to get to
Gulu. We have been communicating with the organization, “Invisible
Children”, for some months, ever since our friend introduced the
documentary of the same name to us. The film tells the story of the
children who have been displaced by the civil war in northern Uganda…

"Anyway, our initial movement toward Uganda came as a result of the
film. Last Spring we started planning. Kevin has a friend at NYU who
works for Invisible Children, now an NGO (non-government organization),
and over the course of the last several months we have been speaking
with her and also e-mailing the Ugandan staff. Aimee, who has been
working as a doula for over two years, hoped to assist in some way.
Kevin, who has been working in educational theater, was curious to see
if there was a place for him to work with children or prisoners. Our
plan was to arrive in Kampala, settle for a day, then meet up with a
group from Invisible Children and take a bus with them to Gulu – 360
kilometers (1 k = 2/3 mile) to the North; just 80 kilometers from the
Sudanese border.

"In many ways we are so glad that our luggage
never arrived. Kevin has been wearing the same jeans for eight days.
Aimee has managed, somehow, to find the perfect African style. She has
her African dress (see: mu-mu) and a wrap, which she manages to finagle
into several strikingly different looking outfits. She’s getting a lot
of compliments from Ugandan and muzungu alike."
