Most tribes dont have a doctor or hospitil, if they do it would be an empty. Because of the lack of people that go to schools there is no one who is trained to be a docter, most docters had no idea what they where doing. The small tribes do get well trained docters every ten years.**

Now they are both one of the biggest cities in their country. In fact Kampala is they capital of Uganda, and its biggest city. Aurora is still a big city. It is the 3rd largest in Colorado and in the top 100 in the US.

One big difference is their climate. Aurora gets about 18.2 inches of rain, but most of it turns into snow because of all the mountains. Kampala gets 40 inches of rain, none of it is snow because of the warmth of the equator. The temperature is a big difference to the precipitation and life styles of Aurora and Kampala. Kampala is very close to the equator in fact the latitude is 0*N and the longitude is 32*E meaning it is on the equator the temperature is about 63*F to 81*F .Aurora is near the mountains so the elevation is higher and the temperature is lower. The average temperature in winter is about 15*F to 43*F, and in summer its 59*F to 88*F.

The mountains affect the lifestyles of the people in Aurora. One thing it changes is their clothes; people in Aurora will wear heavy coats and sweat shirts. Unlike Aurora people in Kampala have no mountains, and it is less cold so they wear shirts and shorts. Aurora is a great place to ski because of these mountains. The elevation in Aurora is about 5,500 feet above sea level. Kampala’s elevation is about 1,200 so there are not mountains.

Kampala can be a nice city but the suburbs can be bad. In Uganda there are many tribes of people one called the Karomojong has a unique tradition. The tradition is to keep many many cattle. So theses tribes have wars to collect as many cattle as they can. Sadly many people get hurt or even killed. Aurora does have cattle ranchers but do not fight over cattle.

It is clear that there are many similarities and differences between Kampala and Aurora. From the Population to the climate. So be lucky you don’t ranch cattle near the Karomojong.
