Klaus Leisinger, who heads up the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development, always asks "What's happening 5 meters beyond the tarmac road?" That really strikes a chord for me. 'Cause while the white SUVs of NGOs crowd the parking lots of downtown Kampala, and the media calls Uganda an "AIDS success story," there's no sign of international aid in Kabalagala.
