I've never been to Uganda but I have been to other poor countries around the world. In my experience, poor people are the most hospitable and the most generous. My most dearest most valuable possessions I have are the little gifts people have given me along my journey. Little things like beads, shells or a small coin or carving. I spent a short time with a rickshaw runner, he gave me his bell. I was given a tiny bible written in Tamil. I can't read it but I treasure it just the same. I've given many tiny little things also such as a glass jar a family wanted after I finished the peanut butter. It's been decades ago but these "trinkets" adorn my desk and I always think of them. I'm pretty certain they all think of me the same way. Although we're separated by great distances we'll ALWAYS be connected. GREAT VIDEO... bless the people of Katanga, they are all beautiful...

There are two types of class: the system of ordering a society in which people are divided into sets based on perceived social or economic status. (some people in that category are really quite classless) And there is the class that denotes excellence. These people fit into the latter category . The thing that holds them up, that gives them beauty, is the love and support system that renews their self -respect and dignity. Take that away from them over and over again in any condition and you will see how quickly they degenerate and lose their sense of self; we should not make their lives romantic novels; their lives are not desirable. But as humans, their collective sense of dignity is admirable; if you strip them of that by your action, you will see that that lowest common denominator that is present in every human being will reveal itself.

When American slums look like upper class compared to Uganda. When extreme poverty in Uganda has more character and morals even though they are even more desperate people than in American slums. Don't forget....they get no welfare no food stamps or free medical on top of it all. Bottom line....you either make good honest choices or bad ones......the choice is always in your power no matter if your rich or poor.....live in a high rise or in the slums. You act...what you are. Class act these people.

When extreme poverty in Uganda has more character and morals than the entirety of America, rich or poor. Where wealthy, privileged people have the choice to be good people but choose not to. No one can blame a starving person for doing whatever it takes to eat.

7:52. Looking at the background, it’s sad to see how fellow Africans live so close to “modernity”, yet, seems a light year away from it. The more I think about how the continent’s wealth had successively been squandered by its leaders, while the increasingly hopeless, oppressed, less-privileged followers watch helplessly, the sadder I become. Thanks to Motherland for breathing resilience into Africans in the face of adversity. Much love from a Nigerian brother.

People are quite surprised that people in a slum can speak fluent English. What they don’t know is Uganda is one of the best English speaking countries in Africa. Infact, many children grow up speaking English as a first language and learn their local linguo later in life. It happened to me. I just had to learn my local language when I was in secondary school. Which is sad really coz our languages are disappearing. On another note, children from Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan and Congo are usually sent to Uganda to study especially English! As bad as it looks, still love my country!

The United States is on this road now too...God has been pushed out of EVERYTHING (except of course, on your dollar bills) and we are imploding from within... You want to pray...pray these nations once again turn to our Lord and Savior and stop idolizing money, cars, and godless celebrities and athletes...that's what we need to be praying for!!
