Exciting News!

The exciting announcement of my rural placement and placement partners couldn’t have been a better birthday present on the 24th of Jan!

I will be located in one of the most rural villages (Kigandalo). It is so small…it doesn’t exist on the map. I will be in Mayuge district.

See map:

My placement partners will be:
Nationals: Timothy (from Sudan), Rose (from Kampala)
Community Volunteers: Samuel and Peter (from Kigandalo)
International Volunteer: Me (from Holland)

They are all lovely!

On my Birthday we went on a day trip to the source of the Nile. A lovely treat! The sun set over the Nile as we danced on the shores to cheesy Ugandan hip hop. I tried to master my African bum shaking...it was a great failure.

Hey hun,
Happy birthday - sorry - I don't check fb birthdays anymore! But it sounds like you had a blast - make that you ARE having a blast :) Can't wait to hear more stories about your interaction with the community on AIDS and HIV - so jealous that you're already making a change! Anyway, get better soon :) :)
