I'M GOING BACK
TO UGANDA!



It's official! I received the official appointment letter from Ambrosoli International School last week, and I sent them my acceptance letter today. I'm going to begin the next phase my stage as an elementary/primary school teacher in Uganda in August. I'm so excited!!!

I cannot believe that I'm going to be back in Kampala in less than four months. It is almost overwhelming. There are so many preparations to be made.

I've decided that from today until I arrive in Uganda, I shall post each week a reason that I am so excited to be going back to Uganda. Today's reason is FRIENDS.

I miss my dear friends in Uganda so much. My very best friend is Kyazze Charles. He is one of the most intelligent, kind-hearted, hardworking, determined people I know. I've been friends with Charles for over three years now. He was very suppportive of me during my time in the Peace Corps. If it were not for him, my third year would not have been as successful or enjoyable.

Other amazing friends in Uganda include: Kobusinge Jenny, Kato Erisama, Bisamunyu Kalindi Tom, Kalindi Raymond, Asaba Arthur, Mr. Amon, Madam Mary, Liz, Ani, Bingi James, Badru Kassas, Shirley Byakutaba, Eppy, Florence, Kyamuhendo Marion, Gordon, Ruth, Roger Follas, Innocent, Geoffrey, Murungi, Mama Tony, Tata Tony, my taxi driver friends, Herman, Swizen, Arthur, Kristina, and many more that I am blanking on right now.

As sung by Marie Osmond as Rose Petal:

Friends
Nothing better than friends.
