<br />
Started off on a good note I was elected the as the GAD coordinator director, Home has been a lot of fun with all the volunteers that have been here. I have really made a nice home for myself everyone always says it’s so homey in here with pictures on the wall and it’s always clean. Work has been slow I am finding many projects to work on like World Malaria day, Teaching the Vocational school instructors how to teach children with special needs and helping the Providence Home get organized with NGO development. <br />

April Blog: 2011<br />
<br />
It’s been a world wind of emotions the past month with my favorite British couple gone and <br />
<br />
50th anniversary celebration was a blast to see some of friends and to hang out with them and to meet some of the new volunteers. The day itself was exactly what I had expected but what are friends for. So the day started with coffee, free t-shirts and lots of hugs from friends have not seen in months. It was so nice seeing everyone and giving hugs to all the trainers I have not seen since I left training. We took a massive group picture and then off to our designate areas or volunteering in Leswea. I was to help pain a memorial on a primary schools building, but as we were walking to the school my good friend Mama Linda fell in a hole and sprained her ankle and going to aid I missed out on the day. So I spent most of the day helping Linda to Peace Corps Medical in Kampala therefore did not get to help paint the memorial, but it was nice to catch up with Linda and not waste away in the hot African sun painting. There was a posh reception at the end of the day where I spent the rest of the night dancing away with all my friends. Then it was back to the village. <br />
<br />
Teddy is a 22 year old orphan who has been with the home for several years. She was brought to the home after multiple gunshot wounds left her no use of her legs. It was brought to my attention that Teddy was now 24 weeks pregnant and need medical treatment and the nuns of course where not so happy with her being disable, sneaking off to town and messing around with boys then coming back to the home pregnant. So with the help of Ducli and Kathy money we took Teddy to the local hospital so she could seek proper treatment. We then found out the she had Pre-clamisa and was in danger of not only losing her child but her life as well. This was practically difficult for me because I was going behind the backs of the nuns who obviously did not want Teddy to seek medical treatment for her condition. <br />
<br />
It’s funny in Africa if you cross these nuns then are always and forever on their bad side and even in dire circumstances they kind of push you off to the side and well to be frank let you die. It’s weird because they perch forgiveness and love but do anything they don’t want you to do or make life harder for them then you are in trouble the rest of the days at Providence Home. <br />
<br />
It’s not to say that these nuns don’t have compassion it’s just culture. Ugandan culture mainly is only the strong survive even in a home like this. I see this clearly now there is lack of funds for medical and food and no nurse as of right now so if children stay health do as they are told hopefully they can make it out of the home and become appreciative of what they were raised with. As for the weak well let’s hope that a donor or sponsor can help you. <br />
<br />
It’s not malicious its just life here. Nothing more nothing less. They given these children and roof, some education, some medical and try to teach them everyday skills. Then they hope what they have taught them in the home over the years will help them in the real world Africa. It’s nice to see the one that have come so far and done so well for themselves. This home is so beautiful. Sr. Juliet background is Social work not Management she was telling me about how she never learned about disabilities in school and yet she is so good with these children. <br />
<br />
Life is funny here it is the complete opposite of the world I was raised in and it makes it harder to see and live here on a daily biases how the home works. <br />
<br />
I just hope that me being here can help in the long run and shine some light on management in the home, but only time will tell and well let’s face it time goes so slow here yet at the same time its already march I have been here six months. And still every day I learn something new about Ugandans and myself. Some good some bad. But I would not want to be anywhere else in the world. This is my new home and family. All the residents in the home are like family. It’s funny I left for no more than two days and when I reached the gate coming home all the children started screaming my name and telling me how much they missed me. I was so surprised because I was not even gone that long to be missed well in my mind anyway.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-61150156565901456242011-05-20T05:21:00.000-07:002011-05-20T05:21:02.707-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The past two months have gone by so fast and were so crazy. <br />
<br />
January started with IST which is in-service training after the first three months at site. IST was extremely fun getting to see all 45 of my PCV group. IST was luxury I spent about 11 days at a posh Hotel called Rider where I had hot showers, TV, Refrigerator in my room, a pool, a gym which it Uganda standards was very nice, steam room and sauna. It was so nice to work out everyday somethings I truly miss its not the same lifting Jerry cans and running everyday compared to the sweat smelling gym that I love and can and did spend hours in. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
IST training was great we received new and fun information for the work that I will be doing and Sr. Juliet my supervisor who is now my best friend Ugandan friend. She was awesome she mingled with all the volunteers sat in on all the discussions. You could tell she really loves Peace Corps. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh yea I aced my Language that I was having such a hard time with, which I have to give all my thanks to Master DEO my language trainer who worked with me just about everyday for two hours, he made me join the choir to help with my per-nunication and took me duka ( shop) to duka and made me do greeting and numbers until I had it just right. I just knew that if I could be taught the language with some one on one and who understood me. So now I can really hold my own with the language which is a big help in country. I People look at you differently when they see you can speak the language and others will not try and talk about you. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After IST 37 Volunteers head off the Nile River Explores (NRE) for some rafting. NRE is a beautiful place to behold especially first thing in the morning when the sun is coming up over the NILE. I can't wait to show you the video of the me rafting class 5- 6 rapids. There is an especially funny rapid called Sliver back class five where all you see in the video is me the only one who falls out of the boat just floating down the Nile waving my hands waiting to be picked up by the safety kayakers. It was a huge rush. There's nothing like feeling the love of the earth then when a huge rapid swallows you up and spits you back out. Over all that day made me miss my father the most God rest his soul. Rafting the Nile would have been such a great memory to have with my father to see the look on his face as we approach the rapids, but I know he was definitely there that day with me watching and laughing along with my friends as I bobbed in and out of the NILE. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After rafting and IST I was looking forward to start some real work with Sr. Juliet cause during IST it really gave us a lot of time to prioritizes all the needs of the home and where I could be put to good use. <br />
<br />
So around January 26th I started to feel like I was getting the flu so I started drinking more water and sleeping a little bit more each day, headaches started, body aches, joint pain, increased urination, swollen spleen, liver and kidneys plus high night fevers for six days. After the six day and realizing that it is not the flu called peace corps medical they imminently came to my site and picked me up to take me to the nurses. Peace corps does an excellent job of taking care of us volunteers when we are sick (trust me I know). When a volunteer is so sick that they can't stay at site or by themselves they send volunteers to this wonderful Angel called Nurse Betty who is a retired Uganda Nurse. She is wonderful. Betty is like your guardian angel when you are sick. When you are having a fever in the middle of the night she is there to help you through it she makes sure you drink enough water even when you don't want to drink or eat anythings. She comes into your room at midnight, and 4 am to make sure you are well taken care of. Nurse Betty goes down in my book as the best nurse ever. <br />
<br />
Peace Corps also just hired a new nurse from the states Named Karen. She too was also my guardian angel while I was sick. She came with me to all my appointments called me at least three times a day and and once at night. I was really mad about being sick and being away from site, but at the same time I would have never be able to get to know Karen who just moved to Uganda and was not familiar with the area so it was a lot of fun to tell her some good places to eat, shop, internet oh yea I also gave her some GLEE so I will see how she will like them next time I see her. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So after many test and poking and stool samples. We went and saw Dr. Stockily ( o god oh Dr. stockily is bit of a British character very intelligent and sometime bedside manner not so great) <br />
<br />
After waiting at the doctors office for three hours which is pretty good for the Ugandan doctors. We found out I have gotten “THE STICHO”. Schistosomiasis is a type of schisotosoma parasite. (Yummy) <br />
<br />
Which is basically a parasite that you get when you go swimming in the Lakes or the Nile and of course I went swimming in the Nile (on New Years at the Hairy Lemon) totally wroth it, but you can't blame me It's the Nile. I don't think I will be going near any type of water any time so. Lesson learned. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Going back to the providence home after schisto was hard I was not completely recovered and was really weak. <br />
<br />
About two day after being home one of the Children passed away. I really took that hard. “ Designer “ was here name she was very special child who would come by the elderly section and help out with just about any thing and she always had a smile. I'm not quite sure what her disability is because they documentation of some of the children is just non -existence. Designer could not speak Luganda or English so she would just point and try to speak. I miss her I would wake up in the morning and there she would be helping around the elderly section. I was to sick to attend the funeral, but Sr. Juliet arranged for a bunch of the children and staff and elderly to attend her burial. From what I heard from the Nat n Dulci is that her family were all very sad, but yet none of them would ever come and visit her they would always say they just lost track of time to come and get her for the holidays. So instead of burring her in the family plot they burred her far away from the plots in the sugar cane field in a shallow grave. Which what I was told was that her mother was bad and they never knew her father, but Designer was well loved at the providence home so I know the last years of her life where well spent. How she died is still unknown they don't do autopsy on bodies unless you pay for it. So basically when someone dies is that you dress the body in bare cloth which is an traditional cloth that is very expense and poor little Designer family could only afford to cover her face and you stay the night with the body and burrie the body the next day in the evening. So little Designer had a great life in the providence home but a sad burial. Rest in Peace Little Designer. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After the chaos of IST/Rafting/ Schito and the death of Designer Life really feel into place with work, friends and everyday routine along with some more fun chaos in February. <br />

I made the best pancakes ever they were better the Schmuckers if any one ever day them you know how great they are. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We made pancake, some apple cinnamon, breakfast sausage, and eggs it was great. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After stuffing ourselves full we started wrapping the Christmas gifts for the elderly we used a L.A. Times that Chris had brought. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After wrapping I dressed in the traditional Uganda Gomez. Basically it lots of fabric and a huge belt with pointy shoulders and lots of fabric. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We then headed down to the auditorium, there were five mungzus with lots of bags filled with toys and bags filled with balloons we called it the muguzun parade. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We set up with gifts under the tree and started to serve the children chicken, matooke, rice, Irish potatoes, beef, pork, pineapple and cabbage. After serving we watched all the children stuff their little faces with tons of food as if they could not wait for seconds. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After food we cut the cakes Dulcie, Chris and Dan spent hours making the day before we handed out the cake and they all huge smiles on their faces cause the cake was so moist and sugary. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Then we started to pass out gifts the elderly first, they were all so happy to open their gifts they could not stop saying thank you even before they opened them </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We then passed out all the bags we personally stuffed and had made for them. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Then all hell broke out children were blowing bubbles everywhere balloons all over the place, little children immediately started to color on the new book we bought, soccer balls being kicked everywhere. Then the nuns started playing with all the toys they absolutely loved the space balls we bought Dulcie and I showed them how they work I jumped on the space ball Gomez and all and bounced all around the children as they giggled and laughed uncontrollably. Then the nuns decieded they would give it a try. Thank God Dan was video tapping the nuns bounce up and down on the space balls like little children. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After the stomached aching laughing from the nuns we danced and danced and played with the children . Until dark. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Thanks again to Kathy and Maria for all their hard work. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the past couple of weeks before Christmas things were getting a little crazy because The Providence Home received donations from the previous Peace Corps Volunteer for Christmas. <br />
<br />
This meant that we need to buy the 6 nuns, 45 children and 9 elderly residents gifts and food for a party. <br />
<br />
At first I thought great I’m still going to be doing Christmas shopping and worst of all in Uganda, but as we start the journey of buying toys, food and all other types of things for the home I really got into the Christmas spirit and out of my Christmas Grinch mode. <br />
<br />
Overall getting ready for Christmas Day was a lot of fun. <br />
<br />
<br />
We purchased fabric and had Mama Betty the best tailor in town sew 46 Christmas bags for all the children. She was so happy to do them and even more happy to receive payment for them. She told us now she would have the best Christmas ever. <br />
<br />
<br />
Purchasing food Yikes that was crazy, we bought 40 kilos of potatoes, 40 kilos of rice, 80 kilos of cooking oil, and six bunches of matooke so we one day we went and purchased everything and load the truck it was total different then just heading to Kroger’s and purchasing everything we need in one place. <br />
<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve started out different we need to bake cakes for everyone in the home and since the bakery was going to close for a couple of days we only had a short window to use the ovens. So Dulcie the English woman volunteer and I took the challenge to bake the cakes. Christine and Nat had to go out and buy 20 kils of pork and beef and then go an pick out chickens for the Christmas Day Fest. So Dulcie and I were on our own with the cakes. <br />
<br />
<br />
We found this process extremely easy because we got to use the industrial size mixer. It was a great time we had some of the children come and help us it was really funny having them lick the industrial size mixer handle. They loved it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cakes here in Uganda are way different then back home for a number of reasons. They do not use milk or eggs so the cake is like a sugary piece of hard bread. They don't use those ingredients because number one it is way to expensive and then the cakes won't last that long. <br />
<br />
After three hours of making cakes for 65 people. I went and meet my very good friend Dan at he taxi park I was so happy to see him and to be able to spend Christmas with him and to show him my new home. After relaxing with Dan and we tired to frost the cakes it was hilarious watching us try to frost these huge cakes. Then we went and decorated the hall and some of the children came and helped us blow up all the balloons. Watching the children hug and laugh with Dan was perfect. <br />
<br />
We then made dinner which was awesome. We had a the restaurant in town prepare fried chicken. I made mashed Irish potatoes with green beans, oh yeah I also made kick ass chicken gravy. <br />
<br />
<br />
I set up my courtyard like a dinning room. With one large table and room for six with pretty napkins, new glass wear, and Christmas lights hung around the area to set the ambiance. We all sat around the table gave thanks and cheered for the wonderful day. <br />
<br />
After dinner was done then the party started Nat and Dulcie the English couple purchased a crate of beer and we had cheap gin with fresh passion fruit juice with toxic. We sat around and played card games and dance to all types of music. <br />
<br />
Then around 11:15 Nat and I decided we would go to midnight mass, which was absolutely beautiful. The big church they have been working on since I have been here was finished so we were able to see then big well light church. We walked in to mass, a little late and all the sister were dressed in white singing the most beautiful Christmas songs. It really made me less home sick to go to church with my new family. All the Sister were really happy I came and joined them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course mass didn't end until 1:30 a.m but I didn't care I got to walk back with all the Sister from the home and Sr. Seraphine who is always back and worth with me, held my hand the whole way home. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was the best Christmas Eve ever. <br />

I make a cup of coffee using the fresh milk the milk man brings the night before. Then I make three fresh eggs from the tray of eggs I get every month which only cost 5,000 shillings which equals to about 2.50 cents and there is about 24 eggs from the chicken coup where a girl named Lilly goes and fetches the fresh eggs. Then I eat my eggs with the newly made bread rolls which I also get once a week from the bakery which is only about a one minute walk from my house. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then I start my day by meeting with Sr. Juliet my supervisor and we do all types of random management for the home and the children. I have been teaching about 10 students learn how to type using Rapid typing program that I got off a friend and they absolutely love it and it is fun to see how fast they catch on so quickly they are so eager they to learn technology. <br />
The smell here is hot, sweet, smoky, salty, sharp soft. It is like the pure smell of dirt, fresh fire, old sweat and a hint of exhaust. It is very noisy here between the rooster, children the campaigns. There are men in trucks with very loud speakers who go around yelling random thoughts of telling people who to vote for. They are not like car speakers they are big 2 feet speakers in the back of some old pick up. Then there is the children who are sometimes quite, but if you walk down the main road around 5:00 you will see about 150 students walk home from school. Nkokonjeru is know for there great schools which is why there are so many students, plus Uganda highest population age is between 14- 24. <br />
<br />
<br />
At dawn there is a explosion of day birds of all types. The crashing of wings and the secret language of the birds is such a perpetual background sound. <br />
<br />
In the hot, slow time of day when time and sun and thought slow to a dragging, shallow there is the sound of heat. The grasshoppers and crickets sing and whine. Drying grass crackles. Dogs pant. <br />
At four when the sun starts to slide west and cool waves of air are mixed with the heat, there is the shuffling sounds of animals coming back from the field at a heavy day of eating. <br />
<br />
This is usually the time where I take a run into the bush. I past the Secondary school where girls between the ages of 13-18 stare at the white girl who has African hair and not quite dark skin but is still consider white. Then after the glares and eyes of wonder I pass the shrine of mother Mary. Where Sister Kevina the founding sister of Nkokonjeru would go and pray for support for the home. The shrine is made out of a old rock straight from the earth there is an alter that was carved out of the rock and Mary stands high above the shrine. The grass is perfectly cut into the shape of the cross that young children take machete's to cause there is no such thing as a lawn mower nor would they ever see one.<br />
After the shrine I pass Mother Sr. Kevina grave yard where she lays now. There is a huge glass temple laced with bars and shapes I have never seen. This is where they placed her concert confine and where some the the sister go and pray to her for hours. After the grave yard there is nothing but already laid out trails where it leads to villages that have been there for years full of big families and mud huts. <br />
<br />
Then the night starts to set in around 6:30 and the night creatures take over the chattering roosting and birds. Night owls, the lizards you can hear above you on the tin roofs sometimes sound like ran, they are getting ready for the cockroaches to come out so they can feast. These night noises have a sweeping eerie mystery sounds that play the sound track to big swollen stars above that lay side by side to the moon who every night steals the sky. <br />
<br />
Then I make whatever food I can combine on my little white gas stoves that only holds two burners. I then clean up after dinner in my courtyard where I have access to tap water and I clean my dishes in a orange tub and let the night air dry them. <br />
<br />
Then I warm some water and proceed to take my nightly bucket bathes that seems to wash away all the red dirt and hanging memories of the day that I have collected. <br />
<br />
I Hop into my twin size bed that is cover with my green mosquito net, cuddle up to my pillow, close my eyes look up at the moon one last time and say my good-nights then start again knowing tomorrow will be a good day full of wonder, colors of all types from the flowers, noises that are so normal to me now along with the heat that I welcome them everyday.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-15061718817197743052010-11-20T11:12:00.003-08:002010-11-20T11:12:24.377-08:00Letter from AlexEveryday at 6:00 all the people from the home say the rosary together outside my window where there is a shrine of Mary with wonderful garden full of flowers of all colors. They say the rosary half in English and half in Luganda along with a wonderful song they all sing. <br />
Today after they were done praying and there was a knock on my door and there stood Alex a 18 year old boy who has no use of his legs yet can from what I have seen cut the grass with a machete and carrier 5 liter jerry can of water all while using wooden crutches with no padding that he uses everyday.<br />
I am always worried when someone knocks on my door cause keeping my privacy is something that I need to keep otherwise you let one student in and they will all coming knocking. So opening the door and seeing Alex with a letter in hand made me a little unease cause a letter to us volunteers can either be really good or a letter asking for something like for school fees or a marriage proposal. <br />
I am happy to say the letter was very good. I guess I am blessed because this letter stated how happy he was that I am here to live with them for the next two years and that he hopes that he will learn a lot from each other. <br />
The letter also went on about a conversation we had on Monday about the funeral we attended.<br />
<br />
I remember speaking with him Monday after I attended my first funeral and he asked me if the funeral bothered me and if it is the same in America and I enclosed to him that it is the same people mourn the same here as they do back home and I told him about the passing of my father. <br />
So in this letter it stated that he did not want me to be unhappy about the passing away of my father and he's to know how painful it is, so let him pray that the father of all fathers Jesus Christ is your father too and me too because we are in the same situation of the passing of our fathers. He also wished me a nice stay at the home and to have fun and feel at home and God bless me and that he will pray for me. <br />
I love my new home and family in Uganda and feel very at home here. Peace Corps was the best decision I have made and thank God everyday that I am here happy and healthy.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-3157859704974934742010-10-11T14:59:00.001-07:002010-10-11T14:59:05.501-07:00National Forest Tower<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_yVvFBH4FvAFm2s8maO-BRUCG0Vm83XAtvl1OP1sAN59jDX-6XsL6Pv6Q7SjFAsxdG3IlwBN1WFZIrQQLay86X_4WvsduV1syrthjBUwK9m3WDouvkdGj856NlR4oivAcQNwT4-iTLEo/s1600-h/DSCF0400%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCF0400" border="0" alt="DSCF0400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv0WRVmWff6p8seANxwapOQgPn63217DKSiIVChOboPr_yXNiWfdwfP5uf-nQeCSjiyHoplljTccahK6FjLaGTdP3-4hYtZ731RD-d_Z_VKVS2utGVdQckrxE6WePWexE_lsUUiouagyZ/?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-5003627049018205232010-10-11T14:34:00.001-07:002010-10-11T14:34:32.831-07:00Tree Time<p> </p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr5vh9seNljHyQd0Maxmz9utFRDTIvjPblHvKgHxEpkbBKPuaixxIMMvSMON2OYaRfxkhaGBqKa9ItQluBk_NLPXO7072hXGudfjYmPVS4exlcORC49BjhzOPa4PAtIR5p92F9scGGSO0f/s1600-h/tree%20time%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="tree time" border="0" alt="tree time" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSM5ewbQf1NbQy9oBT6C0hKYFUjGz28_11zPi8S9WILU_IRVJancqbFmwZtEfKgsKU9i_BNwGHPufQmrfqJCjRgDJlJxBtyvW5niQThg-1X4skpVOTp4Dq_jW8xQf8bxI9PE58uIZ4fg0w/?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a> miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-67400959168317927882010-10-08T04:27:00.000-07:002010-10-08T04:27:50.610-07:00September 2010September<br />
<br />
Ok friends and family I was debating about what to write do I write all the positive stuff or keep it real. <br />
So here it is in the REAL Miss Ann in Uganda.<br />
<br />
The high and lows of training. <br />
So when I first started training things were at a high of course then as the days sink in and one bad day leads to another if you let it. I am finding it hard for a number of reasons weather you know it or not I am not very social. There is 45 of us from all place in the states with all different types of personalities but one goal make it through training and then start our dreams as a Peace Corps Volunteers. Second reason HOME STAY is very painful. I'm first home-stay family was a little rough around the edges. They spoke very little English and I mean almost none at all. My first couple of days the Host mother would not even get home until 10:00 and then on top of this the family was Muslim and in the middle of Ramadan so they do not eat until sun down. I was excited at first to be placed with a Muslim family because I knew very little and this religion. I was excited to learn about it, but as it turns out only my host mom knew about the traditions and celebrations and them they would feed me left over meals from the night before cause they would only eat when the sun goes down and they eat very late and being used to eating 7 or 8 at night made it very hard. <br />
They were a very nice family, but the communication barrier being sick all the time and not socializing with the family and the food. Made me a little crazy. Thank God Peace corps staff is very helpful and so they placed me in a new family. More to come on my new host family.<br />
<br />
<br />

9-23-2010<br />
I have been having a rough month and it is still not over yet. I have fallen ill now a total of four times and every time the peace corps medical officer says it is food poisoning and I am very susceptible to the bacteria. I knew I was going to be sick you know the usual vomiting, diarrhea and high fevers not that I can't handle it but it has been consist every two week I fall ill. <br />
<br />
The routine of getting sick in training is calling the medical officer take a tablet and if it is during the day and you have the REA ( diarrhea ) the will let you stay at RACO the training site/ hotel that has a toilet, shower and a good food for about two days which is awesome when you are sick and don't want to use the pit latrine. SO thank god for this. <br />
If you are really bad and have been having high fevers then they send you to Kampala the Capital city. Then you are sent to a place called “The Surgery” yup that’s right you are told you are going to the surgery and then you realize when you get there it is a clinic called the surgery lol. Then you wait from anywhere between one to five hours. You are then seen by different characters of nurses and doctors. Then after the clinic you are then sent to headquarters speak with a nurse and sent back to RACO or sometimes home. This all happens when you are sick. Lets just say I am now the expert of what happens when a trainee is sick.<br />
<br />
On the other hand you get to go to volunteer lounge and sometimes there will be volunteers there from another group and you can chit chat with them. They also have a room full of books you can borrow sometimes there is left over clothes you can have. Which is nice since in training you really don't have too much time to buy new clothes or get some made. Overall they take good care of you. <br />
So enough of the sick talk. <br />
<br />
My trip to Munko in Katiso with my friend Rashida another trainee who is also my neighbor.<br />
<br />
8:00 a.m on a Tuesday morning 45 Mungoz's ( white people) hopped aboard a matatu 's( Bus) and headed to various parts of Uganda, but first to Kampala where all the taxi parks are. <br />
<br />
Oh how we love Kampala. <br />
All the trainees love to go into Kampala because there is a shopping center that is kind like a shopping mall with really good Food like ½ lbs hamburger yummmy so good. This is usually where we stock up on the feel good foods for me it is usually chocolate, peanut butter, jelly, the good strawberry wafers and some trainees have gone bowling or to a movie I have not yet experience either of those but sure as hell will in the near future. Oh yea Nados a breakfast place had the best jelly filled doughnut every . Well if you can't already guessed it is the small things in life here that make me a happy woman. <br />
<br />
After well fill our bags we then try multiples time to track down another bus which is sometimes hard to do because they usually try and over charge us because we a American and they think we have a lot of money, but in reality we only get paid 35,000 shillings a week which is about 15.00 US dollars. To help figure out how expensive things are a bottle of coke cost 1,500 shillings. <br />
<br />
The Matatu experience. <br />
So there is no real regulation on how many people can travel in a bus and when I say bus don't think big bus think a 12 passenger van like bus. So when you get in the matatu ( bus) there maybe already 12 people in it so you are squeezed next to someone who usually smells like they have not showered in days. So you get in the bus then the real chaos starts so this bus does not stop when you get there it make multiple stops. <br />
You start going down the road for 5-10 minutes when they pick up more people for the bus so Rashida and I counted 22 people were on this bus with us going down a dirt road at some high speeds where they stop drop off two or three people and then down the road again pick up five more people I hope I am painting an good enough picture for you to see. LOL. <br />
<br />
We made it to Katiso.<br />
After beginning drop off in Katiso which is on Lake Victoria ( I have been trying to upload pics but they take super extra long and well I don't want to spend all my limited internet time uploading pics when I can get on youtube and have a laugh. So if anyone has any ideas to help me upload I would gladly take them) we were greeted my the Volunteer Heidi Hall she shows us her town. We hike some high hill and were able to see far out into Lake Victoria it was another great HOLY SHIT I'm in Africa moment. It werid here everything becomes so normal so every now and then i'll get a oh shit i'm in Africa moment. Which is really nice because the days run so short here in training it's get up and go go go go. They do not give us a lot of down time which is good but really bad at the same time.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-74563258842959875772010-09-29T09:09:00.001-07:002010-09-29T09:09:05.578-07:00Harriet my host sister and Hasthum my host brother<p> </p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi42ieirUdrBhZ7L9_OGbgVXDUgOjQmukuOV5QmxmUeJrOdokhXyN8XyymTfoDKlimeVwwl_BJkj6k61fUnpFt8YnI5xrHdSXjIDWpz4J1pWpzYcmKDGpbu8lCX9m7xR0HX8lnNNi2Q6I38/s1600-h/DSCF0171%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCF0171" border="0" alt="DSCF0171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxQWIfT_IOgqFoHkr9jt7B9AXA25GwHixxzhExjp4BZKc_3iolm-jC5DJL2zePVW0kc6X5SdlT5_SRNalVAXbqBS9QInTM2OQPFjtL_GAVRg_mYe6kjtvdVkYhsrCNQwKMhp2t1uvgy28/?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a> miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-19376181435060033792010-09-04T09:53:00.000-07:002010-09-04T09:53:47.768-07:00Uganda my new homeUganda home sweet home. <br />
9-1-2010<br />
The other day I said to my new friend Chelsea that I had to go home early. Yikes we looked at each other and laughed HOME yup this is my new home Uganda I am officially a Uganda citizen on visa of course <br />
I would like to apologize right off the bat for the wording. I am trying to learn Luganda so they speak English differently. For example Eat dinner now translates to I would like to eat dinner in an hour. <br />
You come from where- what is your home town. Yes I know a little confusing for me number one because I am already dyslexic and that just makes my English even worse. <br />
<br />
How Am I, I am great. It is month one of 27 months and life is good. Finally getting into a routine at the homestay. I have a new Uganda mom and dad. They are both teachers in Kampala they are a wonderful smart couple. I don't really see the dad a whole lot, but that is normally I find amongst most cultures no matter where I am in the world. He is a wonderful dad when he is around the children just want to be with their Tattaa( daddy). He came home earlier the other day with g-nuts and ice cream which is rare because no one has a refrigerator so it was a real treat for them. Mamma Janet has three wonderful children Harriet the 7 year old is so great she always is at my side, the 3 year old boy I have yet to figure his name out but I will soon he is a little shy of me which is typical, but he is a hand full. He is super cute cause whenever he gets yelled at he sticks his thumb in this mouth. Which is really funny for me cause I too sucked my thumb until the age of well.... let just leave it at that, but it is distinguishing habit especially here in Uganda were there is no running water and I have yet to see him wash his hands. Sorry mom I should of listened to you a long time ago it's funny that it took me half way across the world to figure that out. <br />
Over all he is a typical three year old. I can see for Janet typical three year old always bugging someone or causing trouble. the 1 ½ year old Hasidim cries a lot but is very spoiled. They are all wonderful children it is neat to see some of the same cultural aspects for families here like I do back home. It really is interesting living with this family cause there are a lot of similarity I have noticed. The kids were all screaming about whatever and Mamma Janet turns to me and says I wish I could just leave and leave them crying I just laughed and said you are so normal Janet and we both laughed. we are all they same inside just do things a little differently.<br />
<br />
There is also a house girl which is typical for each family or house were both parents work. She comes over early in the morning cleans watches the children, cooks and then leaves at 8:00 p.m she also has a three year old don't know her name or the daughters name cause you just don't converse with the house girl. I would like to but need to brush up on my Luganda. <br />
<br />
I get up have a bucket bathe and that’s exactly what is does sound like. I get a bucket, a flask of hot water and cold water then proceed to bathe myself down in a concrete stall. At 6:30 every morning. Oh but wait I forgot to tell you that I use the pit latrine first yup no running water or toilet at Mamma Janet house which is every typically for all Uganda The consumption of water that is used in toilets is ridiculous and if they had that much water they would use it for something else. So yes the pit latrine was scary at first but once you figure it out its become so normal. A few reminders to possible visitors always bring tp and be careful of your stance some people aim's is not always the same or what you think it should be. <br />
Ok so after my bucket bath picking a outfit which is usually a skirt and an now an over sketched t-shirt from the gap. No one in Uganda has or even uses a mirror. Its a little weird cause I never really know from head to toe what I look like. If you tell a Uganda that they look nice or a pretty they will flat out say no I am not and if you keep telling them they will still say no. To be pretty is consider conceited. So they are not big on breakfast here well at least the places I had been to for breakfast time. Usually it consists of tea and Nescafe coffee which is absolutely awful so I have been making my Starbucks viva last as long as possible but only have a couple left so if any one want to mail anything good coffee, a good coffee grinder non electrical and of course a plastic not glass coffee press. <br />
Then two pieces of bread usually not toasted and maybe an egg boiled or some people fry. Oh yea big deal here no one uses CHEESE you can't even find it in Waskio and when you do find it in Kampala it is any where from 10,000 to I’ve seen Brie for 90,000 mind you it is 2,200 to the dollar here but Peace corps only gives you 35,000 a week so cheese is low end of the shopping list. <br />
After breakfast it's off to my 25 min walk to training.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-34000910611945014892010-09-03T11:34:00.000-07:002010-09-03T11:37:20.633-07:00Things I didn't know about uganda clutureThings I didn't know about uganda cluture <br /><br />1.You will be called a mzungui= white person, by every little kid on the street no matter what time of day some even proceed to flow you and shout Mzungi mzungi. <br />2. The chicken gizzard is for the guest. YUMMMY<br />3. You can not ask a pregnant woman when she is due. Only the father of the baby should ask. Plus there is a superstition that if someone knows one's due date that person could cast a spell on the mother. Opps happen only once and will never do it again. <br />4. Washing your undergarments by another person, Opps again I went to a laundrymatt in Waskio town and told the man at the counter how much and he proceeded to give me a cost of 10, 000 shillings and I noticed my 15 pairs of underwear were more expensive than my jeans. In a hurry to go I said ok. After speaking with a local Uganda friend he explained that if someone finds out that they washed your undergarments they will be ridiculed and lose respect and self esteem. OPPPS won't do that again. <br />5. When you explain to a Uganda that you are lost that means I have not seen you for a while. <br />6. Its too sweet means= It is delicious and will give you more. <br />7. I have been in my home stay for a couple of weeks and the 1 ½ yr old does not wear diappers they are way to expensive so when the baby has to pee it just pee's yeah learned that one the hard way too. <br />8. Women here do everything, wash, work, take care of babies, garden, clean ect... I don't really see men doing much of anything. <br />9. There are three types of marriage, Civil Law marriage, basic marriage just means no paper work. And Polygamy yup that’s right a lot of Uganda have multiple wives. Never in the same home and usually not spoken about. It gets very confusing on who is who. <br />10. Everyone tries to dress very nice business casual. There is no real gender specific clothes either. You will see some men wear women clothes and shoes. Men wear pink and love it. <br />11. Watch out for Bododas( motorcycles) they do not care if you are in the street and will clip you if you are not paying attention. <br />12. Matooke every single night gets old quick. Matook is a banana plant like that they steam all day and it taste like paste unless you put some type of sauce on it, but uganda loves it. <br />13. NO child safety laws. Children ride on the back of bododas all the time. No car seats have not seen a single one and they don't know what I am talking about. So far a child’s favorite toy is the unkoko ( chicken ) or the plastic bag they found in the trash, they make kites and some younger one just put in mouth. You rarely seen children toys.miss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-29745855454012732872010-08-27T04:17:00.000-07:002010-08-27T04:34:31.574-07:00August 27, 2010It has been a bumpy ride but I'm in it to win it. I new Peace Corps was going to have it's upps and downs. I was sick the first two days at leswa then was sick then again yesterday, but they Peace Corps really takes good care of you. I mean REALLY good care. Nothing serious just the usually stomach stuff. <br /> I absoutly love all my traniees at ROCO and the staff here is really great. The food is ok. "NO more maatooke" as we all say. Which matooke is a bannana like plant that is cooked all day then served like smashed potatoes. The food here is always the same so I am looking foward to getting to site and making my own food. But i am going to take training one day at a time then start thinking about Site. Which will be located somewhere in Central Uganda. <br />I have a beautiful walk to school every morning where little children proceed to yell MZungU Mzungu which translates to white person. Everyone is very nice and interested what the big group of Mzungu's are up to everyday. There is a total of 45 of us in CHED. Community Health and economic development the trainings are intense but overall very good to know. My Lugandan is coming along slowly,but my professor Herbert say's i just need to practice practice i understand what is being said i just need to practice. <br />Everyday I am blessed to be apart of the Peace Corps and everyday I wake up excited to be apart of this wonderful country. <br /><br />Love from Africamiss.ann82http://www.blogger.com/profile/00155887360858153302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131094890615660967.post-24719497229193984932010-07-01T22:23:00.000-07:002010-07-01T22:24:54.399-07:00Packing ManiaPacking Mania <br /><br />Ok so I went to REI and bought:<br /><br />Water Bladder : platypus Big zip SL 3.0 L 100 oz<br /><br />Portal water bottle: platypus .5 l bpa free sans spa<br /><br />Sleeping bag: Tactel t’s sack 55+ nitro<br /><br />Two discovery trekking wicking towel www.wickingtowel.com<br /><br />One pair of Keen Madrid Maryjane shoe’s<br /><br />One Niteize s-biner 75lbs, 25lbs and 10lbs not for climbing binder.<br /><br />One gear aid explorer repair kit for my Jade 40 Gregory green Hiking Bag.<br /><br />As Far as clothing IDK.<br /><br /><br />Friends or Family you can see what I need at Target Ann Pasquinelly Peace Corps List.<br /><br />Yes that’s right I registered what I needed at Target figure all the help I can get will be helpful.<br /><br /><br />Other than that I really need to get on the ball and start thinking practical minimal and useful.<br /><br /><br />Anyone out there in Uganda let me know.<br /><br /><br />San Diego is fun and exciting it’s nice to be here with my sister and her family.
