It’s my last day, bitter sweet. I’m excited to go home because I am a bit home sick (not to mention my boyfriend's nephew was born January 6th and I'm anxious to see him) but I will definitely miss Uganda. This experience has changed my life. The world feels smaller, I feel more connected. I learned in such a unique way. It was all about using my senses I smelled, felt, saw, heard and tasted new things. It was sometimes challenging. But in the end I am pleased.
I learned about Uganda’s culture, health care system, challenges, strengths, goals, economics, history, politics….I appreciate every moment I have spent here. I believe I am a better person. Really, I feel that I have changed so much in three weeks. I was forced to be uncomfortable, challenge the way I have lived my entire life. I lived someone else's reality. I look forward to the opportunity to share with family, friends and strangers what I have learned here.
