This is Lillian. She has been kind enough to share her story with us, and we hope to soon share it with you. We're working long days capturing her daily life and also conducting interviews with scholars and politicians to give historical context to her story. The afternoon sun is hot, so we try to shoot early morning and evening, and leave the afternoon for doing interviews indoors when possible.
The photos show : Lillian's interview, a boy fetching water from the water point nearest the village where Lillian will rebuild a home on her clan land, Jake working, and a neighbor girl in the IDP camp of Coo-pe.
Back out for the day, first light is coming momentarily.

Jake, you are in my prayers as you do this important work. I love you, brother. tim
ReplyDeleteThank you Tim and Missy for the thoughts and for reading along with our journey. We have been fortunate to spend some real quality time with the Acholi people in Northern Uganda, who compose the demographic Ben was most interested in helping with CWI. They are so hospitable and warm in spite of harsh history and humble means. You would enjoy spending time with them. I hope our footage will allow you to understand them better. Cheers. Jake
