October 25: cardboard village



This morning at 5:30 when my cardboard box was collapsing from the rain, I thought to myself "What on earth am I doing?" But, it was all very worth it. Twenty or so students and I made a village out of cardboard last night on the quad and experienced "displacement" as a culmination of our focus week on the situation in Northern Uganda. One of the students pointed out that this was perfect activity for me, as my favorite children's story remains Christina Katerina and the Box. That is very true.

i thought the same thing right around the same time...

i like the glow of the lights from douglas in the background...the dorm provides a nice contrast to the cardboard village.
