I am entering the second phase of my time here in Uganda as an AJWS volunteer and Tulane MPH practicum student. My cohort of volunteers have almost all left the country, ready to move on in their lives. In a hundred ways, I am NOT ready to move on with my life. Not even close. Sure, I face daily frustrations (case in point: earlier this week I had two separate, semi-serious taxi injuries), but I am generally very happy here. That, and I am far from finished. I still have a lot to learn.
September-December Goals:
- start brainstorming/writing my public health analysis
- determine gaps in knowledge in public health in order to pick next semester courses
- read more books (fun and academic)
- do something sustainable at my place of work
- learn more Luganda/practice my Luganda more
- travel somewhere else in East Africa
The next 3 months hold so much possibility.
