It is exciting to finally have time to do something other than attend lectures or write assignments. Aside from a little holiday shopping, I will be mostly spending this holiday season preparing for our spring fundraisers for Busolwe Mango Grove Junior School with my colleagues Stephanie Sammartino and Hannali Popoca Fehr. Many of my blog posts about my service in rural Uganda can be found under the tag “Africa”.
Though our fundraising initiative is no bigger than a few schools each year, depending on our connections, it is meaningful for us to share our story with the students at those schools. With the support of a few schools, this rural school has grown from just these students to 200+ students in K-6 taught by 9 teachers.
