19 March 2008

Thanks to Drew Kinder, recently returned Kiva Fellow, I was able to stay at Kampala Kolping House for my first week of (and an easy transition to) Kampala life. Coming back after my first full day at the Life in Africa office, on my last night at Kolping House, I found the following to greet me:

What you can’t see is the longhorned bull on the other side of the driveway!

Make you homesick, Drew? Truly, a lovely place, and a wonderful experience thus far.
