where to begin.
work has started and its down to business. im working with various youth groups and vocational students setting up a youth forum and leadership workshop as well as providing sustainable follow-up. it might not sound like the most daunting of tasks, but its not all shits and giggles. not even close.
i owed so much to the amazing people im here with (the other students). everybody is so supportive and level-headed and just all together refreshing. its only been about 3 weeks ish but lifelong friendships are being formed as we speak.
im getting much more comfortable being out and about in gulu on my own. at first i was extremely conscious of how much we stuck out, but now, as people are starting to recognize us and after having some wonderful conversations with the locals, im loving it.

the thought of leaving is heartbreaking.

i have so many details. so many stories. anecdotes. laughs and cries to share. but somehow, doing so electronically doesn't seem to do it justice. at least not for now.
(so get ready for some amazing conversations when i get back)

being back is delayed by about a week.
i am going (with a couple others) to rwanda for a bit.

im out.
