News

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing well in your respective areas of life. Lately I have been fascinated with the elections in Uganda, and they are becoming quite heated. I want to identify the implications that they will have for our work there this summer. They will be held on the 18 of February, so just a couple months prior to our arrival. In this post I am attaching just a brief summary of the politics in Uganda. I, just as I am sure all of you are, am seeking out what we can do to create effective sustainable development projects in country. I have been trying to explore multiple avenues we can take and adapt it to Uganda and ourselves. I wanted to share two interesting reads that really stuck out to me. The first is the power of cell phones in developing nations and their relative affordability. THe second is explains to some extent the food situation in Uganda with the affects of a recent drought. It is more in the north of the country but I still found it insightful.
