Gulu is changing

Bank of Uganda (Gulu Branch)
Not that I have anything to do with it, but there are many visible infrastructure improvements that can be seen in Gulu over the past year.
Office construction


When I first arrived, I saw a new 3-storey

building in its finishing stage.  Little did I know that it was to be our new office.

Right across is a branch of the Bank of Uganda (the central bank).  Hmm, sometimes I imagine seeing my former colleagues going to work in that tightly guarded fortress.
Serendipity
The old market was also demolished to give way to a more modern structure.

But to my mind, another community life-changing development is this town clock.  This was installed last 9 October 2011 coinciding with the 49th anniversary of Uganda's independence.
It is solar-powered


In a place where almost nothing starts on time, this will perhaps mark the dawning of a new day in Gulu.
