Entry 1: Mzungu!

 

Reaction to the mzungu in Iganga, Uganda

 

“Mzungu, hi!” Probably the phrase I heard the most. Mzungu means “white person,” and children would come running out of their homes shouting this greeting. Everywhere you go in Iganga, the children are thrilled when you pass by, laughing and shouting until you are no longer in their sight. Sometimes this meant children would follow us for miles, and I often wondered how they knew how to return.  The man in this photo is setting down yellow jerry cans—jugs they fill with water from the nearby pump.
