Some pictures

Here's a selection of pictures - they're in no particular order, so don't assume chronological order. Hope it gives you a taste of what I've seen and done.

A view of the town we're staying in for training.

A termite mound - quite large. They're everywhere.

Gorgeous sunset from my backyard.

Kids playing soccer

Typical country road in Uganda - lots of dust!

Flying over the pyrenees.

The mosque in Wakiso.

A visit to a local NGO, educating youth on health related matters.

Nice to see monkey's on one of the first days in country.

A view of Lake Victoria.

Local kids coming to play soccer.

Dedication plaque for the health center here in Wakiso - apparently Uganda's president was present at the commisioning.

Doing a needs assessment with an outlying community.

The Peace Corps Trainees beginning work on a keyhole garden - an efficient way of growing vegetables on the household level.
The finished product. The hole in the middle is filled with compost, and the path way allows access. All watering is done in the center, and after planting, the roots will make their way to the center hole to get water and nutrients. It's highly efficient.

The sahara desert is big - really big. We crossed over france in under an hour. Crossing the desert took 4 hours.

The liberty bell in Philadelphia - the engraved quotation is from scripture, Leviticus 25:10 "proclaim liberty to all the inabitants throughout the land"
