Rubbish, recycling and the kids next door

As Mzungus (white people) we create far more 'rubbish' than Ugandans with our constant need of packages of this and plastications of that. Our waste management/ recycling system consists of this bin...


Which then gets taken outside and various attempts are made to burn it by Helen underneath the Jackfruit tree...

More often than not however, local children get to our  rubbish before burning and recycle as toys...



Scary mzungu...


Can be other worldly at times...

These twins have white marks on their heads which is a type of mould. they all also have distended bellies I think with a form of Kwashiorkor or protein deficiency. 

Twins can be viewed with suspicion and deemed unlucky in traditional circles in some rural areas...
