Just to give you a quick view into the English that we encounter every day here in Kampala. Sometimes I feel at a disadvantage as a native speaker. Truly, if this land is not for sale, how can you buy it? And who would WANT to buy it if it's "at your own risk"?!?! There are other random signs as well, such as "Peaceful Butchery" which highlights a ramshackle stand that has carcasses of beef hanging from the front. What, if anything, is tranquil about such a scene?
Here's a snap of Jenny and I while we were at Ssezzibwe Falls for a field trip last week. It was really fun to hike around on the rocks, and enjoy the muddy waterfall. We'll get to hike around some more together since we're joining Suzy, Kristen, and Tessa for a weekend camping/hiking trip to Mabira Forest.
Just last night we received our practicum assignments. I will be going to Ethiopia on February 16th! Suzy, Kristen, Tessa, Eli, and I will all be going together, but I think we will be split in two groups once we get there.
I have been busy with lots of reading homework this week, but its been a good week as well.
Our group study on Wednesday nights has been talking about the issue of poverty. For us, this trip is to see physical poverty in East Africa, but it's also a time for us to realize the spiritual poverty that is so apparent in our own lives and in the lives of our North American neighbors.
Paz y Amor a todos.
