The end of training!

So how is this for incredible? All 12 of us who left Philadelphia managed to stay in Uganda for the 2 months of training! Rarely does an entire training group make it through training without losing any trainees. We have definitely had our ups and downs but we are definitely a strong group of women! So today I can finally call myself true volunteer. We were sworn in at the Ambassador's residence and then released to the care of our Supervisors and our communities around Uganda. I am looking forward to settling in my community in the Western part of the country and beginning work with the clinic and resource centre I have been assigned to.

My first blog from Uganda!

Ok, continuing my slow transition into the 21st Century I have created a blog. This way I don't have to overwhelm everyone with my infrequent mass emails. I promise to update as often as possible but it definitely depends on how much I have to spend to stay on the internet! I just wanted to post this picture of the group of 12 trainees I came to Uganda with. When I have some more time I will write a little about my site visit and post a picture of my new home! As of the posting of this blog all of the trainees are still here in Uganda and we are having (overall) a great time! Training is of course difficult but we are all looking forward to getting to our sites and starting to work in our communities!
