So, moving on!  Peace Corps is behind me and I am starting as fresh as possible.  Before I quit I knew that I, at least potentially, had a job lined up with a small family run safari company, which among other reasons at the time, gave me grounds for not hopping on the next plane [...]

Through some combination of  Peace Corps Uganda’s administration ineptitude and potential PC hosts manipulation a lot of sites here get approved that should not be.  My first placement in Murchison sounded amazing…on paper. That was until the reality of it all sunk in.  I was stuck in the middle of the bush with little to [...]

A little background…  So, at long last, I will shed a bit of light on the events of the last few months of which the vast majority of you have been in the dark. First let me preface my absence of communication by saying that the last few months, for a variety of reasons, had been [...]

The other night after sitting around enjoying a few drinks with Ade, the Soft Power Education group and our South African friend, Johann we decided it was getting late and it was time to head out.  Some of the others stayed on at Traveler’s Corner for a few more, but Ade, Johann and I headed [...]

  The two male baboons that live around my house got in a fight over something this morning.  It sounded like a dog fight almost.  Remember in highschool when there would be a fight and there was always the town crier who would let everyone know, “FIGHT!! FIGHT!!”  One of the baboon was on the other [...]

  I know I don’t always think that I have something to write about, but that’s mostly as I am getting used to the way things are here.  So I thought I would just ask if anyone has any questions about life, work, animals, et cetera here in the park or in Uganda in general.  Leave [...]

  Sorry for just throwing photos at you all last week.  Let me offer some explanation.  First of all, they aren’t all in order.  The photos where we look like we are cold and in Europe… is Belgium on our 3 day layover.  The rest are in Uganda, from various locations.  I don’t have the photos [...]

nothing of any substantiality to report, but at long last!  PHOTOS!  THANKS AGAIN MOM! photobucket.com/Sabrina-Africa

  Firstly, apologies for the lack of communication over the last few weeks; life has been slow and programs sparse.  At the end of April I was asking what the programs were for next week.  The response commonly was along these lines, “Oh!  That is May!  We haven’t programmed for May.”  I am sorry, but May [...]

  The other day when I was sitting with Zamzam, (the local council leader), waiting for the women to mobilize and I noticed a couple of the children were picking up there heads and looking around.  I couldn’t spot what it was they were looking at until one of them picked up a stone and threw [...]

This has been an unusually slow week.  I took a wee bit of time to come to Kampala to try to kill a couple of birds with one stone. I have a lot of project ideas rolling around in my head like loose marbles- museum curration, creating intrepretive infomation boards in the park, developing bush camping [...]

1) On my Sunday trip to the Masindi market one of the women I bought some vegetables from called me back after an unsuccessful attempt at buying red beans. The conversation went something like this: Woman: there is a man I know, he thinks you are, uh, handsome! Me: AH! Neebo*, you mean pretty! Handsome is the [...]
