Apologies, there have been no posts for a while due to an extended holiday in New Zealand. I had a fantastic time, lots of great architecture but it was mainly overshadowed by the spectacular scenery. More to follow on that in future updates...
For the time being I want to share a video with. The video features a model I created of a building in a small rural village in the heart of Uganda. The building is special as it houses Students Partnership Worldwide (SPW) charity workers who live in the village and donate time to help try and fix some of the many problems that Ugandans face in everyday life.
The idea of the video is for people all around the world to be able to see and understand more about life in Africa. I believe the video helps people to visualise the country and therefore make it seem more real.
You can hopefully see from the video that the building is very simple. It was originally built by the British and is one of the few concrete buildings in the town, most are mud huts. Although the building originally had electricity and running water, it is now merely a shell. The shower consists of a bucket behind a wall, not as bad as it sounds though, and I should know as I lived there for a few days! Enjoy!
