Everything is going amazing here in Uganda. The first couple of days were pretty stressful -- getting adjusted to a new culture and all that jazz, but now I feel pretty much at home. It definitley is a different world though.
As far as work updates go, there have been some pretty big changes in all that we have been doing. We have found ourselves a little swamped with all the different projects going on, so as predicted the corn cobb briquette program has been temporarily been put on the back burner. For now I have been helping everyone else with their projects, especially with Alaana and Shaunte who have been working together doing nutrition/health. With the language barrier and the big number of kids we have, classes haven't been progressing quite as fast as expected. So we've been focusing on that alot. Overall though, the projects have been a big success so far. The town seems to like us alot and support all that we are doing, and the kids have really taken to us. People are starting to get a little fatigued/sick with all that has been going on. Right now, there are three of us that are temporarily bed-ridden with some stomache problems. I've been healthy so far though, and hopefully things will stay that way :)
