And that means that, after three and a half months, Invisible Children’s busy summer visitor season is officially over. Now I can exhale.
I’m going to be busy in the next few weeks, though, creating content for the new IC website, which has a rolling blog as its main component. Because the rolling blog needs frequent posts to keep it interesting (and keep readers coming back), IC Uganda has been asked to submit more weekly content than we’ve submitted to the blog in the past. This translates into more interviewing and writing for me. This shift from dealing with summer visitors to a more writing-heavy schedule is a welcome one—I was starting to feel worn out by the endless stream of IC guests that showed up in Gulu over the past few months.
I’m headed to Zanzibar and Tanzania with a co-worker at the end of October for a two-week vacation. Snorkeling, journaling, reading, and riding trains are in the cards.

The fields, colored a shade of electric green, are lush thanks to the consistent rains we’ve been having in the past month. This is a stitched image—click on it, then click ‘All sizes’ to see it in its original size for more detail.
