I learned something today. Adults that are buried in their village are buried outside of the clan compounds. Children and babies however are buried "within the home" meaning inside the circle of homes that makes up the family compound.
To go with that, here is a statistic I also learned today- 15% of children born in Uganda never reach their 5th birthday. Just meaningless numbers? Try this picture.
7 little graves in this family's yard. Some are a few years old and the family couldn't afford cement. In 2007 they added the first cement one and today they added two more.
