What's up guys!?
I'm still in Gulu but we finally got the network up to get internet access on all 3 of our computers so i have enough time to actually start a blog up!
Things have been crazzzy intense up here, the work is non stop since the group ends in less than two weeks now. I've decided to stay in Gulu though, I'm still going traveling in April to Tanzania and Kenya but instead of volunteering in Kampala at the Foundation for Human Rights I've decided to come back to Gulu and act as team leader for the 2nd and 3rd groups coming from Montreal and have the chance to follow up on all these long term proposals and research that I've initiated, more about that in some future entry...
On of the projects that we've been working on while here is holding a football (soccer) tournament as a way to bring the community together, for the entertainment of the locals the CVAP volunteers (the group of 10 that i'm with right now) will be playing a match tomorrow against our local partners in the city stadium... should be really embarrassing and amusing of course!
I'm still loving it here though, the day to day is frustrating because there's so much to get done and everything works in slow motion here, people think we're crazy with our agendas, writing down of appointments and actually expecting someone not to be an hour and half late! But spending time with some of the families we're helping and then coming home to a clear sky and seeing 5 shooting stars within an hour makes up for that! (i know, i'm so cheese!)
Miss you all!
