Uganda!

On Thursday afternoon, we arrived at Entebbe Airport, where we slowly made our way through the confusion of getting screened for swine flu, obtaining our visas, and (effectively not) going through customs. We met Matt (our graduate mentor and former program manager) and Edward (the head of the MFP program at Pilgrim, the NGO we work with) at the airport and went to Kampala (the capital). There we had a nice (huge) dinner, visited Pilgrim’s head office, attempted to brush our teeth with bottled water, and got some much-needed sleep. Under mosquito nets, of course – Jen’s favorite contraption, but Lacey’s nemesis. After Lacey had meticulously tucked her bednet, she realized she still had to get inside the net... with the lights off. Alison's headlamp was put to good use. It was quite an adventure.
