My favorite moments so far have involved the Makerere students. They are full of energy and love to share their culture and beliefs with us. Violet has a wonderful sense of humor that I’m sure will continue to surprise me throughout my duration here.
"I wouldn't stick my arm out the window if I were you." "Why?" "Because someone will cut your arm off to steal your watch!"
The drive to the schools was long in the van however longer by foot. It’s hard to imagine walking that far to school everyday with the realization that lunch may not be provided upon arrival.
Seeing the children running up to the vans as we arrived was a new experience. Standing outside the van at Nak there was a feeling of being on display that overtook me. The children were standing around us and just staring. It was a little uncomfortable at first but once everyone dispersed and started interacting the feelings subsided and I was back to being excited.
