Dinner on the ground, Uganda style, is a feast of harmony

I'm lucky enough to have been sent on a reporting trip last week to the beautiful country of Uganda, in central Africa. My colleague and I have been able see some of the dams, farms, and industrial parks being built by Chinese companies and entrepreneurs.

While driving back from the almost completed Isimba Dam on the River Nile in the eastern part of the country, I saw a large crowd of people holding what looked like an outdoor festival in a village. Thinking I would just take a few photos, I asked the driver to stop.

As I got closer, I could see that a Roman Catholic priest was holding an open-air mass, as lines of people waited for communion. I was surrounded by the incredibly beautiful African singing.
