Keely Photos [Uganda.39]

Here's some great photos that Keely shot.





This is Randy Elrod, all smiles with child.
This dude is awesome and totally acted
like the kid he's holding here (when we
were on the safari, boat ride, and other
exciting times).

One our second day we went to a HUGE
project/church that had just a ton of beautiful
children there. We all had lots of fun and joyful
interaction with them. It was fun learning more
about them as well as playing.





One of many children with an infectious smile.





Can you say, "Cutie Patootie?"





I like seeing the goals on the wall here,
which these children seem to take pretty
seriously (there's still lots of typical kid
stuff, play, etc)





Drinking porage. I love how this shot is
framed. Keely does wonders with her
white balance settings. She's a true pro.





Valentine's Day 2008 will likely always
be remembered as the day we met Rhodah.
Most of us were able to meet our sponsored
children on this day. The others cheered us
on. Here's a group photo of us all.





David is a fun guy that does a blog for
beliefnet. He gave his sponsored child a
soccer ball. I suggested that he get a
sharpie and write a greeting on the ball.
He said he didn't have one, and I said,
"One of these artists here will totally
have one on them." Sure enough, one
whipped one right out. I got a kick out
of that.





A big long table at the Fang Fang
Chinese Restaurant. Time fortunately
seemed to slow down while we dined
and chatted with the kids.





I tried teaching Rhodah sign language
for "I love you" and "I pray for you."
