Photographer and Grand Valley State University staff member, Ken VanderWal, has traveled to Uganda as a missionary since August 2004. He has kept a detailed visual record of the daily life of southern Ugandans in the countryside, villages, and cities from Mukono to the capital, Kampala. These photographs capture images of people with hope, rather than exploiting the harsh and difficult conditions in which they live. The photographer intentionally records subjects and scenes that depict people with whom viewers can relate... those dreams for a better life.
