International Women's Day in Gulu District

This is the entrance to Alero IDP camp, just west of Gulu town. I am told that Alero means "I tried" and is a camp that has been especially hard hit by LRA attacks. This is where Gulu district organized events for International Women's Day and it was truly an honor to be a part of all the dancing and celebrating. When I got up to dance I was sandwiched between two elder Acholi women who seemed to find it amusing to
chest-butt me. I just sort of grinned and went with it.
