Village Tour:

For various reasons (lack of solar power at Engeye, too many laptops at Engeye, adjusting to life and work back in the States), we have been remiss in sharing our timeline of events and visual documentation.

Within the first couple of days of arriving to Engeye, John Kalule, Engeye Co-Founder and Clinic Manager gave us a brief tour of the village.  We focused mostly on common building practices and land tenure practices.

Below are some photos from this tour….

The pit / convenient soil profile! Seeing this pit latrine hole precluded us from digging a pit of our own to check out the soil profile. Photo credit: Anny Su.
