The last couple of pictures of my homestay family. I will miss the children at the home. They were very sweet to me and worked very hard to ensure I was well cared for and always fed. I hope to see them occasionally during my two years in Uganda. My future site is about an hour drive, which may seem simple enough to navigate, but the hardest thing in this country to master will be the transportation. I don't have a car, the roads are too dangerous to ride a bike, I am not authorized to ride the motorcycle taxies (boda bodas), and the walk to the main road to catch a public taxi would take me about five hours (or however long it would take to talk 20km). More about all of that later.

| These are a few of the orphans. They seemed very positive and happy. I never heard fights or complaints, just lots of laughing and teasing one another, even though they had so little. Many of the aspects of my homestay experience were a challenge, but the kids are what kept me going. Thanks guys! |

| Here is a game the younger ones played in the yard. Look how high they can jump! As a going away present I bought a couple of jump ropes so they can add more jumping games into there free time activities (the rope they were using in this picture was just regular old rope). |
