Campus Life

The beautiful sunset (I can see from my dorm room)!

Some of our group (before we headed to the market).

The concession stand at the UCU basketball game.

We only have four weeks of class left! I cannot believe how fast this semester is flying by! My classes are going well! I am taking three classes: African Traditional Religions (which I posted a bit about previously when we took our field trip to Mbale), East African Politics since Independence, and Faith in Action. Besides my classes I am doing my junior social work internship at Salama, The School for the Blind. Things are starting to wind down there too. The students leave for break on November 30th, which will obviously be my last day. Our last day of classes is December 3. Finals week is December 6-10. Then we will go to Entebbe for debrief of the semester and reentry to life in the U.S.

Other than classes and my internship, when we have free time we go to Mukono or we head to Kampala. Kampala is about an hour from the university by taxi. We have also been to a few markets and university basketball games.
Life is always interesting here, there is never a dull moment! The opportunities are unending. For example, we were able to visit the World Vision office and have a meeting with the top administrator in the Mukono office. The possibilities to learn are so numerous here; it is so much fun as we continue to discover more and take in each experience and situation. I am so thankful for the time I have to spend in Africa, it is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
