Come Si Dice In Italiano?

Greetings from Italy! After a crazy week at Peace Camp in Lira which was awesome, I traveled to Entebbe which was a 11 hour trip from start to finish and then got a couple hours of sleep got on a plane and spent about nine hours flying taking a break in Cairo, Egypt and then finally landed in Rome. I am living with a family of four in a cute little apartment just west of Vatican City. So far so good! Cheers or I should say Ciao!

A couple months ago the Kibale Forest Schools Program took off to Queen Elizabeth National Park for a two day trip for the wildlife clubs of all 14 schools. We took 28 pupils and 28 teachers along with four staff members and myself. 
Here are some photos from the trip!

Lets Do Some Traveling!


Well off I go for another adventure! I am going North and then I am leaving Uganda! Do not worry it is just for a couple weeks. I am heading to Lira tomorrow for about nine days and then I am going to Italy for the Holidays! A friend invited me to come visit her and her family in Rome and as the price to fly is not bad from Uganda, I took this opportunity to visit Europe for the first time and see a place I have always wanted to visit. It will be a nice break from everything that has been happening at my organization and going on here in Uganda. I am beyond excited!! So first it is to Lira town in Northern Uganda for a week long Peace Corps Peace Camp where I am a counselor and I am leaving Uganda on December 14th and coming back on January 11, 2015.

With that being said, hopefully, I will be uploading all my photos that I have taken over the last couple of months and also I will add some photos from Italy to the blog and social media sites. I will be adding photos to the blogs that currently do not have photos and also re-doing the blog so make sure you check back after the Christmas Holidays. I have to find a better way of getting photos up on my social media next year. I apologize to those who want photos, they are coming! 

But for now enjoy some photos from Kasiisi Weston Pre School Stars graduation that took place today!
