From December 13, 2014
What an amazing experience this past week has been. I
said goodbye to Fort Portal and headed five hours to Kampala spent the night
and then six hours north to Lira with fellow Peace Corps Volunteers for PEACE
CAMP! After a long dusty bus ride which took forever we arrived and started training of the trainers for two days and then campers arrived. There were many different sessions on what is peace, peace building, and how we can use it in our lives. A day was devorted to communication practices There was also a day on health which talked about HIV/AIDS, sexual health, and other health issues. I taught a class on Conflict Analysis to the 73 participants there at camp. It was a hot and crazy week but a lot of fun. It was a wonderful experience to meet so many young people
from around the country all wanting to learn and work toward Peace within
themselves and in their communities. I had eight campers that I kept an eye one for the week – four girls and four
boys all from different backgrounds and beliefs. We shared some great ideas and
also learned a lot from each other. This was my first Peace Corps Camp and am excited to see what camps happen next over the year. Enjoy some photos from the week!
