We’ve arrived in Gulu. We turned the corner onto Acholi Rd. last night around 7:45pm (12:45pm EST). As we turned into the compound we heard music and clapping. Young children lined the gate as we entered and as the doors opened a crowd of people with smiles on their faces greeted us. It was truly a magical experience. The music we heard was coming from students that attended Awere “Displaced” - a school located in Gulu that had been displaced by the war. They were there welcoming us and after over 24 hours of traveling we ran out of our van as fast as we could to sing, cry, and dance. We had made it.
