this tuesday I will be flying to Uganda, where I will be an research intern for the next three months. I've been preparing for this for years, but it would be a lie to say i am even slightly prepared. but i'm excited and expectant.
i'll be working with the Anglican Church of Uganda, under OHDYP, the Organization for the Holistic Health and Development of Young People. I will be researching their Peer Development program, and attempting to determine whether or not it is effective. I am hoping that this experience will be beneficial for the program, but also that it will open my eyes and allow me to be a better developer.
I will be conducting the research out of Adjumani, which is in the north west, with Gulu to the south, and Sudan to the north. I think it is rather rural, so I'm not sure how often i will have access to the internet, but I plan to post updates as often as possible. Feel free to leave comments, advice, or whatever you wish.
