A day in the garden...
Our peace corps training also included lessons on gardening and composting - Some pictures from that training:
A senior peace corps volunteer teaching us how to make a keyhole garden.
The completed keyhole garden.
Yes, that's me wielding a machete - I'm trying to cut a jackfruit in half...this was not part of the gardening training, rather something a few of us attempted on the side.

Health for Youth with Parents Involved (Hey-PI)
Hey-PI is a non-profit organization in the Kampala area which we visited during training. The organization involves parents and youth and focuses on HIV testing and counseling, school outreach (including violence education, along with HIV education) and training HIV counselers, among other aims. The day we visited, the youth performed an educational skit for us, and also danced to drum beats.
At last! I can now upload pictures!
It took a lot of troubleshooting, but I'm finally able to upload pictures! Hopefully that means I will be sharing photos a little more regularly now. I have tons of photos from training alone, but they will probably have to be uploaded to my blog slowly by slowly.
Below is my language group - We all studied Lumasaaba/Lugeso and consequently live in the same region of Uganda.
