Trying to cross the border ended badly as Micah and I spent the night awake in “no mans land” between Uganda and Kenya. We were denied exit from Uganda on the basis that we’ve been “working in the country without a work permit”. The officer says it’s going to cost us $30 a day for the 110 days we’ve been here---and he flagged our visa. Then, we were sent home.
Although we’ve been trying to uphold Uganda’s laws, a major roadblock is in sight. We are going to try to get the correct paperwork and explain the situation (that we are unpaid). Neither of us wants to be bribing government officials, which is “normal” over here. Please keep us in your prayers as we seek a solution to this problem.
