Because of the rains and the poor condition of the roads, there has been a lot of mud and some rivers that have been impossible to ford in our large truck, so we took apart the air intake system and put together a new system with a snorkel. Jua Kali is Swahili for “the hot sun.” In common parlance, a mechanic or other entreprenuer who fixes things with what they have on hand, probably at a roadside business. We are now able to use this vehicle to pick up supplies and drill wells in farther parts of Uganda.

Your father showed me how to “scroll” over the bottom of the photo to get the caption…hopefully there will be no more uninformed comments from the Mum.
Jua Kali means “the hot sun” or someone who doesn’t work out of a garage with parts and tools and what.
So glad you all are settling down to work and worship with the Karamoja saints.
About the real Jua Mali mechanic…will there be an explanation?…or should we go to the interesting Jua Mali website to learn more?
