Saturday is funeral day in Lesotho, he said.
Lesotho has the third or fourth highest rate of AIDS in the world. Although the AIDS rate hovers around 30 percent, the people whose funerals fell on Saturdays did not die of AIDS, according to their relatives. They died of some other disease, a headache or even a hiccup, Russell said.
He pointed out that even in the wealthiest country in Africa - South Africa - the president, Thabo Mbeki, denies the disease exists.
A little reverse culture shock has hit Russell as well. People may ask about his stay in Africa, but soon get distracted by topics that are irrelevant to him, such as what movie to see next.

Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC) What is UWEC
The Uganda Wildlife Ediucation Centre is a fun and exciting place to see and learn about the animals of Uganda and the ecosystems in which they live. Large cats, chimpanzees, birds and many more amazing animals are awaiting your visit. Take some time to learn how they live, eat, play and talk - you may even make some friends while you're here. Where do the animals come from?
All the animals have been rescued from poachers, illegal trade or accidents. The animals are brought to the centre by government agencies, animal welfare groups and concerned citizens like you. The great thing about UWEC is that it is not a traditional zoo, so we do not capture or purchase animals to show here. What else is at UWEC?

Little is known about the history of the region now covered by Uganda until the arrival of the Arabs and Europeans in the mid 1800s. Humans are known to have lived in the area since at least the first millennium BC. When Arabs and Europeans arrived in the 19th century , they encountered a number of kingdoms in the area. They included Ankole, Buganda, Bunyoro, Busoga, and Toro. The largest of these kingdoms was

http://www.africatravelling.net/uganda/kampala/kampala_culture.htm
Kampala - Culture Kampala is one of the few African capitals that was not founded by the colonialists. On one of the hills that characterize the city of today, the kings of the Baganda-people had long established their court. Captain Lugard, the representative of the British colonial company I.B.E.A., had his fort built on the opposite hill, and the various missionaries established themselves on other hilltops. With the development of cash-crop agriculture as from the beginning of the century, Kampala became the trading centre for the continuously larger harvests of coffee, tea and cotton, and in 1931, when the famous Uganda-Railway finally reached Kampala, it was on track to displace Nairobi as the metropolis of East Africa. The civil wars of the Seventies and early Eighties however had a devastating effect on the city. The bombed-out high-rise building of the city centre could only be rebuilt after 1986, but since then the city has been growing at an incredible pace and today vibrates with optimism and energy. Kampala, the capital city of Uganda is spread over ten hills and derives its name from a kiganda expression "kasozi k'empala, "the hill of antelopes" Kampala is located on the Northern shores of Lake Victoria at an altitude of 1,310 meters above sea level. The climate of Kampala is typical of an inland tropical city, modified by altitude, and distance from the sea. The mean temperature of the city is 22 o C, with a mean maximum of 27

34. Dogon
A report on the Dogon pastoral society of uganda.
http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/EthnoAtlas/Hmar/Cult_dir/Culture.7840
Society-DOGON The Dogon are an ethnic group located mainly in the administrative districts of Bandiagara and Douentza in Mali, West Africa. Their territory extends from approximately lat. 13 1/2 degrees-15 degrees N by long. 1 1/2-4 degrees W. This area is composed of three quite distinct topographical regions: the plain, the cliffs, and the plateau. Within these regions the Dogon population of about 250,000 (ca. 1965) is most heavily concentrated along a 90-mile stretch of escarpment called the Cliffs of Bandiagara. This provides a rather spectacular physical setting for villages built up on the sides of the escarpment. The Dogon language has been classified within the Voltaic (or Gur) subfamily of the Niger-Congo language family (Greenberg 1966: 8, 162, 165). The people call themselves Dogon or Dogom (sing., Dogo), but in the older literature they are most often called Habe (sing., Kado), a Fulbe word meaning "stranger" or "pagan." The Dogon are primarily agriculturalists, their principal crops being millet, sorghum, rice, onions, beans, tobacco, and sorrel. They are also arboriculturalists. The Dogon keep herds of goats and sheep along with some cows and poultry. Hunting contributes little to the diet since game in the area is scarce. Fishing is done once a year as a collective venture. According to their traditional history, ancestors of the Dogon migrated to the area which they now inhabit some time around the tenth century. These ancestors were four brothers, Dyon, Ono, Arou, and Domno. Inhabitants of different regions claim kinship with one of these four brothers. The Dogon have a system of social stratification similar to numerous other societies of the West African Sudan. The distinctive feature is a hierarchical series of occupational "castes" or status groups consisting of workers in iron, wood, and leather, as well as the griots. The griots function as lineage genealogists, musicians, and poets and are evidently believed to be sorcerers as well. Caste members live apart from the agriculturalists in either a special quarter reserved for them, or outside of the village, or in villages of their own. Each caste is endogamous and the members do not participate in the common religious cults. Dogon villages, usually in groups of about 5 or 6, are concentrated around water holes and referred to as "cantons" or regions. Village organization is kin-based within the overall framework of exogamous patrilineal lineages (gina). The fundamental unit of Dogon social organization is the localized patrilineage or lineage segment. The basic residential unit is the conjugal family household (gina), usually composed of a polygynous family group (i.e., a man, his wives, and their unmarried children). It is not clear from the data whether or not these household groups are organized into extended patrilocal families. Paulme (1940: 246) simply says that marital residence is patrilocal in the village of the man's father, often within the same village quarter. According to Palau Marti (1957: 58), the larger gina (i.e., lineages) are divided into several tire togu, but it is ambiguous as to whether or not these are sublineages or extended patrilocal families. In any event, there is some clustering within villages of patrilineally-related households. The senior male of the local lineage group, who is called the gina bana, occupies a larger-than-ordinary house (also called gina), and houses of other lineage members are associated with his household. Several family compounds make up a quarter or togu. All villages have at least one togu na, a shelter where the men gather, and a Lebe shrine. The localized patrilineage (gina) owns houses and agricultural fields, has its own altars and ceremonialism, and its own burial place. The lineage head, gina bana, is the oldest living male descendant of the common ancestor of the lineage. The primary responsibility of the gina bana is to conduct ceremonies. In addition, he presides over a council of elders made up of all the adult men of the group. The council and the gina bana settle family disputes, administer the property, and send representatives to the village council. The region is an agglomeration of several villages which, according to Paulme (1940: 25), share "a unity of a triple order, at once geographic, linguistic, and ethnic." The geographic unity stems from the grouping of the villages around water holes. Each region has its own distinct dialect, some of which are considerably different from each other. Ethnic unity derives from the fact that all members of the region claim kinship with a common ancestor, who was responsible for founding the first village in the region. The oldest direct descendant of the founder is called the hogon. The hogon is the chief of the region and, along with a council of elders made up of the gina bana, rules over the affairs of the region. The regulatory functions of this group include policing, the levying of taxes, and the administration of justice. The hogon also has important priestly functions. There are age brotherhoods known as tumo among the Dogon. Initiations into the brotherhoods are conducted every three to four years. The most distinctive function of the tumo is the performance of the batono rite. This rite takes place during the sowing festival and the same-age brotherhood performs it 9 or 12 years in succession. Paulme states that although the importance of the age brotherhoods was decreasing, age as a status factor had always been and continued to be very important. The men's society among the Dogon controls the cult of the masks (Awa). The men's society is characterized by a strict etiquette, obligations, interdicts, and a secret language. All young men are instructed in the cult of the masks. Women and children are strictly excluded. In addition, selected young men, the olubaru, are given additional instruction. They are the ones who will have the life-time duty of preserving the traditions of the masks. The olubaru are initiated in a Sigi ceremony, which is celebrated once every 60 years. The masks perform every year during the 4 weeks which precede the sowing festival, at the Sigi ceremony, and during the preparation for a dama festival (the ceremony for lifting the mourning period). Besides the cult of the masks, there are three other principal cults among the Dogon. In the public plaza of every village there is an altar of Lebe. The Lebe cult is associated with the agricultural cycle and its chief priest is the hogon. The cult of Binu is often referred to as totemic. We observe it in the essential characteristics of this institution: existence of exogamous totemic clans, the members of the clan having the same name and respecting the same animal (or vegetable) prohibition. ...The prohibitions are transmitted in the paternal line and are in keeping with exogamy [Paulme 1940: 109]. The cult of Binu is also associated with the agricultural cycle, and sacrifices are offered at cult altars during the agricultural season. The cult of the ancestors is associated with gina. The purpose of the rituals is to establish and maintain good relations between the dead and the living. The gina bana is in charge of the ancestor cult. Culture summary by Marlene M.

Significance of the Colors
Black, yellow, red were the colours of the Uganda People's Congress party, who came to power in elections in April 1962. The flag was adopted on the date of independence, 9 Oct 1962. To quote Whitney Smith (" Spectrum Vlaggenboek ", 1975): "The three colours were intended to symbolise the people of Africa, sunshine and brotherhood. The design was made by the minister of justice, Mr Grace Ibingira." The crested crane was the flag badge of Uganda under British colonial rule.
Dylan Crawfoot , 22 Oct 1999 I spoke to Grace Ibingira (God rest his soul) and he told me he designed the Ugandan flag (he was first and foremost an artist). It was the second of two designs.
Tomas Zamudio , 25 Feb 2003 Do you mean that the current central roundel of the Uganda flag was in the fly of a blue (or red?) ensign as the local colony flag?

Background
My eclectic background includes a BA in Mass Communication and Literature (Makerere University), MSc in Medical Anthropology (University College London), MA in Development studies (Nkumba University) and a post-graduate diploma in Project Planning and Management. I have worked in multi-disciplinary social science research in health and illness since 1997 at the Medical Research Council bases in Uganda and The Gambia. My speciality is applied ethnographic research.
Research
Previous research investigated sexual behaviour among various groups of adolescents, community attitudes towards vaginal virucides, local breastfeeding practices, sexuality of public motorbike riders, sexual behvaiour of market women, Pentecostal healing of HIV/AIDS, ritual sex, death rituals and widowhood, the role of traditional birth attendants and lay perceptions of malaria. While working as an anthropologist on the Gates Malaria Program in the Gambia I observed interesting dynamics of youth sexuality. This formed the basis for my current PhD research degree, which is supervised by Dr. Robert Pool.

Welcome To UgandaTourism Uganda is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, with fantastic natural scenery, Half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population is in uganda. It also offers world-class white water rafting at the source of nile and some of the region's more peaceful national parks, where wildlife viewing doesnt involve long waits in line behind a dozen or more vehicles. The natural attraction are among the best in the region, and as tourism is still being re-established, there simply aren't the crowds found elsewhere. Take your pick from the highest mountain range in Africa, the Rwenzori Mountains;one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world, Murchison Falls; or perhaps the highest primate density in the world, in kabale forest National park - Uganda has all this and more. It's a beautiful country with a great deal to offer, and sooner or later the tourist hordes will 'discover' its delights - make sure you get there before they do.
