Uganda has a very different culture and its ways of life have stranded from thousands of years of growth. Uganda’s culture has molded off of what its ancestor has built it into. One of the negative aspects of the Uganda way is where a payment is made to the parents of the bride prior to marriage, the husband assumes to own his wife as his property. Because of this, the women of Uganda are treated very badly. We know that laws are different in some countries, one to be particular is the law…

To gather data, I started with the first recorded data of the mountain gorilla population in Uganda. In…

We walked into the auditorium, and the video started and I saw footage of Uganda that I had never seen before. When I saw the face of Kony for the first time, anger filled my body. Suddenly I heard gunshots from the video, and I was taken back to the night my family rented a van to move to Uganda. It was dark and dangerous, I was two years old but the memory still remains vivid. We heard a gunshot, the sound became louder the closer we got. All of the sudden my mom ducked my head and covered my…
