Villagers from Kakute, Uganda, gather at the Kakute Church of Uganda, April 23, 2013, to see theatrical presentations of proper food, water and personal hygiene sanitation procedures performed by human and animal healthcare experts from Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa Surgeon Cell, 411th Civil Affairs Battalion, Uganda People's Defense Force, and their civilian counterparts. Because of high illiteracy rates in Kakute, the performers decided to share knowledge with the villagers by acting out information, sometimes called‚"live theater." The event was part of One Health, a two-week series of events that recognizes the health of humans, animals and ecosystems, like their nations, are inter-connected. Overall, One Health is a whole-of-government program coordinated by the Ugandan government, UPDF, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. State Department, U.S. Embassy in Uganda and CJTF-HOA to help strengthen Uganda's healthcare capabilities.
