This will be the last blog posted by Team Smith from the Arua office. Tomorrow begins the final departure from what has been home for over a year now for the capital of Uganda. The remainder of my (Eric) time in Africa will be taken up with meetings both in Kampala and Zambia. It has been a memorable adventure and I wish our friends and colleagues in West Nile fulfilled lives.

Below are a couple of pictures from a strategic visioning workshop held in Koboko for community group leaders. We spent a total of three successful days together developing consensus on the future of their groups and the Koboko Archdeaconry program that serves to knitt them together.

The participants working hard in their groups. Each group gave themselves a name. The group in foreground of the picture is "Kunya," meaning, "Take Courage." Other groups had names referring to esprit de corps, overcoming the odds, etc...

Groups drawing their answers to the questions, "what does a developed person look like?" and, "what does a developed community look like?"
