It's been over a year since I first came to Uganda to live and work with Bringing Hope to the Family, and it has honestly been one of the best years of my life. Soon I will be heading back to the States and I would love to share with you some of my favorite things about living in Uganda.
Friends: one of the very best things about this year in Kaihura is all of the amazing people I have met and the friendships that have formed. I've been so lucky to have found such great community here in Uganda.
Beautiful scenery: East Africa boast some amazing scenery. Western Uganda has beautiful rolling hills, and in Jinja you can see the sun set over the Nile River, and Mombasa is right on the edge of the Indian Ocean. It been so exciting to be able to travel to all of these beautiful places, and witness the beauty of God's creation.
Ugandan Culture: while Ugandan functions are often crazy long it's been really neat to be able to live and experience a totally different culture. There are certain aspects of Ugandan culture that I love, like the way people take time in their day for conversation, the slower pace of life, I know I'll miss that when I leave Kaihura.
Amazing people: I have been so privileged to meet and work with so many great people, most especially Faith and Peter, the two founders and directors of our ministry partners: Bringing Hope to the Family and Action Ministry. It is so inspiring to see these two people pour out their lives to bring hope to their communities.
