Get the feedSeventh Day in Uganda
Tuesday, Aug 04th 2009
SixSeeds friend Andy Mills has created "The 5810 Project," predicated on the belief that while “teaching a man to fish” will provide him with a fish diet for a lifetime, it will not lead him out of poverty. To escape poverty people need to develop sustainable business activities. The 5810 Project’s vision is to help people build businesses and break the poverty cycle in Uganda. SixSeeds will be posting portions of blogs from our friends as they go through this journey.
Today, we went to Merchisson Park, the game park south of Arua. We didn’t see a lion...we saw six! We were within thirty feet of six lions for one and a half hours. We even took tea with the lions (we are in the process of copyrighting that children’s book title)! Actually, we were in the car while they ate their baboon outside. Before we had arrived, the lions had caught a baboon. So while we sat there watching the lions, we also were able to see them eat their baboon. We also saw countless Ugandan cobs, a flock of crested cranes, many warthogs, several giraffes, and many other wild animals. We saw a herd of elephants surrounding their young, and the biggest one even faked charging at us to intimidate us. The trip was amazing. 1200 photos later, we were back at the hotel.
