[SPECIAL NOTE TO FOLLOWERS OF THIS SERIES]<\/strong>\u00a0 This will be the last blog recounting experiences in support of Imaging the World in Uganda from our\u00a0previous visit in 2011.\u00a0 We are returning to Uganda in 7 days, and will be gathering more comprehensive video records of this live-saving work to share in future posts.\u00a0 Our goal is to train and equip local staffs in three clinics, creating access to modern diagnostic imaging, therefore saving lives – one ultrasound at a time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am proud to relate\u00a0that Paul\u00a0is\u00a0raising the visability of this initiative through the following website:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.paulsugandaproject.org\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0hope\u00a0you will\u00a0click-through, and encourage his efforts!<\/p>\n

IN NEXT WEEK’S BLOG, I DISCUSS RESULTS FROM A SURVEY OF ULTRASOUND INSTRUCTORS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR BETTER PRE-ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION OF ULTRASOUND STUDENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, June 13th<\/sup>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Today, we headed back to Entebbe\u00a0as we prepare to\u00a0fly back early tomorrow morning.\u00a0 We loaded up the van and said some sad goodbyes to our friends.\u00a0 We started out early and were treated to a very pretty sunrise which the video from\u00a0a moving van does a poor job of capturing.\u00a0 Click to see video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We passed through Queen Elizabeth Game Park early in the morning,\u00a0and this time\u00a0saw many more animals than on our arrival.\u00a0\u00a0Where before we saw mostly individual animals, today\u00a0we were treated to entire herds.\u00a0 In one herd there were more than 100 gazelles.\u00a0 We also saw a very large family of baboons, a pack of 8 elephants (including three or four babies), and a herd of water buffalo.\u00a0 The water buffalo were just about to come over a ridge onto the road when we happened across them.\u00a0 I think their faces expressed as much shock as ours did at the encounter.\u00a0 We also saw a massive elephant drinking water from a small watering hole only about 15 feet from the road.<\/p>\n

In this case I will let the pictures and videos do most of the \u201ctalking.\u201d\u00a0 You can see a large group of baboons (not those sticking out of the gray van \ud83d\ude42 ), a few water buffalo, and a herd of gazelles.<\/p>\n

We stopped at another clinic about 4 hours from Bwindi (called Bushyeni).\u00a0 There is yet another remarkable story surrounding this clinic.\u00a0 A church in the States adopted this clinic and started a school which takes care of the many orphans in the area.\u00a0 Many of these children have now graduated and work at the school and clinic.\u00a0 Just before we reached the clinic, we drove into an area where they were holding a market.\u00a0 I am including a video clip taken from the van so you can get a sense of what the market was like. Click to see video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Later we\u00a0enjoyed lunch at the same restaurant in the town where we had stopped on our way to Bwindi.\u00a0 Paul got adventuresome and decided to add some chili paste to his food.\u00a0 You can see the before and after pictures \u2013 to get a sense of how well that went (notice the \u201cpatina\u201d of sweat on his forehead).\u00a0 For about 20 minutes, Paul did not look so good.<\/p>\n
