Arua, Northern Uganda. Friday, 5 a.m. I wake up to the call to prayer at the nearby mosque, and the sound of heavy rain. My mind starts running wild.
Usually, when it rains in Arua, everything and everybody stops working. Today, I need to be at the office at 7:30 am to meet the hired driver and pick-up primary school pupils, to drive them to a local radio station. With this rain, the whole activity is going to be delayed: The driver is not going to show-up. The pupils are going to wait, or maybe they won’t even be at school when I get there. The station manager will be unhappy. Great, it’s raining.
