I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year’s Eve and will enjoy 2016. Looking back, 2015 was sort of pell-mell, divided in half between all the things I had to do to get ready, including buying a condo, selling my house and closing down my law practice; and then undergoing training and making the adjustment to my new life in Bugiri. I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out, and expect things will stay interesting.

Before joining about 30 other PCVs in Jinja at a bar called Bourbon, I paid a visit to Henning, a Danish businessman who works with ATEFO. He had invited me, and I met his wife Jette, and his 21 y.o. daughter, visiting for the holidays, and 8 y.o. son, who goes to an international school in Jinja. Their place is “on the water” referring to the Nile River, where it joins an inlet into Lake Victoria.

For this reason you can see many fanatical ads for different herbal http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/giraffe/ purchase cialis online medicines.

Jette is a doctor who spends two days a week counseling diabetes patients in a couple of different clinics. She wants me to talk to a group of them about my reversal. She is striving to set up her own general practice in 2016.

The view of the junction of the Nile and Lake Victoria from Henning’s backyard. The house is in a guarded compound called “Jinja Sailing Club”of six homes, all occupied by Muzungus.

When you go the the edge of his lawn you see an illegal shanty town and a mosque that has sprung up along the shoreline. How these structures got there, and who is getting paid off to look the other way, is an interesting story but a lot of it is Henning’s speculation.

These are the seven kids who live next door to me in my compound (and Meowri). Its the same two room design I have. I have gone in to their place load electricity on the meter and observe they use triple bunk beds. They try to help me learn Lusoga words, a few of which I used to know.
