Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Thursday, January 3, 2008. Keep your fingers crossed for Kenya. I don't know if it has gotten a lot of news coverage in the US, but there is bit of a disturbance going on in Kenya at the moment and I wanted you all to be aware of it. But first let me say, I am absolutely fine, please don't worry about me. Taxi rides are ex-pen-sive. Wednesday, January 2, 2008. Let me ba...

The Brett Diaspora: July 2007

Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Sunday, July 1, 2007. Is it really summer there? I am still stuck in the belief that it is February in America, because that's when I left and I cannot imagine that time progresses undisturbed without me. That's just preposterous! But evidently it is now July, which I am especially aware of due to the fact that today, at long last, I am 23 years old! I couldn't tell....

Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Saturday, December 27, 2008. The second week of December I took an amazing little vacation to Kenya. The goal: Lamu, a beautiful Swahili island about 7 hours (by bus) North of Mombasa. Gorgeous and amazing. Yes, the water actually is this color. And it's warm! And yes, it is December! On Lamu donkeys are the main mode of transport and transporting goods around the island.

Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Friday, February 23, 2007. 3, 2, 1.Uganda! So, guess who's going to Africa in one week? Thaaaat's right, youuu guessed it. It's me! A decade or two ago the AIDS virus was at 30% of the population. Yet after a number of projects and reforms it is today down to under 10%. That's a big drop. So Uganda is doing something right. I will probably not have running water. I will...

Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Sunday, May 13, 2007. Time to get lonely. I just want you to know that right now I am having the best internet. The connection is fast and there are ceiling fans running. That's pretty much it, but it's the little things that really make me happy. I am in Kampala, which is the capital. And today in Kampala I just bought a little kerosene. I am living in Kakiri. Here the...

http://brettbrett.blogspot.com/2009/01/cut-itimbalu-ceremony.html
Out of America, into Africa. Descriptions, rants, raves, contemplations, and (hopefully) epiphanies from a Peace Corps Uganda Volunteer. Monday, January 26, 2009. Uganda is made up of approximately 50 different tribes (thanks colonialism! Of course there are a number of similarities between the tribes, but there are also a lot of cultural differences. Language is a big one- there are something like 47 different languages spoken in Uganda! So, of course, I. To see a Bugisu circumcision ceremony: the Imbalu.
