NORTHERN UGANDA

It was September in Northern Uganda when a non stop rain fell. The rain stayed two months long. Houses in Northern Uganda, which they called Nipa Huts, were submerged in the water. The water level was twenty feet. Crops were dead, few people survived in the flood, there was no food to satisfy the inhabitants. After the two months of havoc and despair, people slowly recovered somehow from the tragedy. You can see them riding in boats, which they call canoes, floating around the place. Their only source of food and income was fishing. The place, Northern Uganda, is not yet history…maybe it’s just the beginning of a new life there.
