Hello
GPP 105 bloggers! On my first blog post here, I wanted to share about
my PE organization. I have written the majority of my undergraduate work
on the colonial history of Uganda, the conflict
in Northern Uganda, child soldiers/forced labor in this region, and the
social movements issues surrounding this topic. Therefore, I have
wanted to work in Uganda for a long time. I found out about Uganda Village Project
about 2 years ago and I have been wanting to work with them ever since.
I feel so lucky that I will be able to experience this Summer working
in Uganda establishing clean water projects and Healthy Villages initiatives in the Iganga District of Southern Uganda.
The
Iganga District has been termed the "dirtiest district in Uganda". So I
am excited to get involved with UVP's integrated water treatment
approach:
I
am really excited to learn a lot, maybe learn some Lugosa, and meet
new friends... If only I could just wish away midterms/finals and have
it be Summer already!

Thanks for reading...
