As I mentioned before, the last week has been a bit of an introspective blur. So I figured I'd try and get out of my own head a little and bring you into what we've been up to. Day 1 rolling into Kamapala one week after the tragic bombings was a little daunting. Even the more seasoned of our veterans were on a higher level of alert. Thus we exercised an appropriate level of caution, avoiding crowded areas, etc. We talked with an older orphanage worker about the bombings. As tears began to fill his eyes he likened it to the way Americans felt about 9/11. Total shock at the reality of the attack. Crazy sadness for loss of loved ones. And fear. And most important of all, an overriding resilience to survive and move on.
