The Uganda Village Project



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...
