Uganda! Arrive June 9th
I am exploring in Uganda. I am interested in seeing what work in being done throughout the country. This country was ravaged for over 25 years by a terrible civil war. But things are looking up for Uganda. I hope to get to see the different levels of development, how it is taking place, and help and serve wherever I can!
Kampala
June 9th- 14th Visiting with Susanna and Peter: A time of rest! I will be staying with a close friend and her family to see what normal life is like in Kampala (Uganda’s capital). Also, it will be a bit of a break after the craziness of Sudan!
June 14th-16th Cornerstone Development, Kampala: I will visiting/shadowing at the head quarters for Cornerstone Development. This will be a great chance to get a feeling for the work being done by this organization and how their offices function on the group. I will be staying in their basic guest house. (And self catering! This will be fun!!)
Luwero/ Surrounding Area
June 16th- 19th (or 20th depending on transportation) Cornerstone Ranch, Luwero area: I will stay at Cornerstone’s girls ranch for 3-4 days, visiting with the girls and helping however there is need.
June 19th (or 20th)- July 5th Emmaus Center, Luwero: Working at Emmaus… serving the center and the community however there is need. I will probably do some work at their school as well. There is a chance of volunteering at a local hospital, depending on where there is need.
Mbarara
July 5th- Travel day to Mbarara… in the West of Uganda (5 hours on a good day!)
July 5th- July 24th Yesu Ahiire Community, Mbarara: Working with the Yesu Ahiire Community will include working in their orphanage and volunteering my time to whatever other needs I can assist with!
Masaka
July 24th- August 4th Masaka Catholic Diocease, Masaka: I will be working with a development organization and at an orphanage while visiting Christ the King Catholic Churches’ sister parish! It is the cathedral of the Masaka diocese. They have their own development organization across from the guest house!
August 4th Fly to Nairobi from Entebbe
I am going to do my very best to serve the poor well in Kenya.
Nairobi
August 4th – August?? The Slum of Kibera: I will be working with a Human Rights Organization and a school. Half day with each, Monday through Friday. I will do this for at least 2 weeks, if not longer. On one of the weekends I will work with a group called Carolina for Kibera from a Friday afternoon to a Monday morning. This will give me experience with another organization in the same area. I also am still working on connecting with the Missionaries of Charity who serve the poorest of the poor. I hope that the last 2 weeks in Kenya can be spent with them. I also will be taking a 4 day visit with my friend Bahati in the West of Kenya over a weekend in the middle of August.
