Hi

blah...I just typed up a whole entry and it got lost. I've been at a workshop that was pretty much brainstorming for formulating a district strategic plan on HIV/AIDS. I'm going to do some research on sexual behavior of students. We spent most of the time doing SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) about different aspects related to HIV/AIDS. I was talking to some people in the education sector, and they were saying that religious education promoting abstinence was a strength, so I asked what % of students is sexually active, and they gave me a funny look, but no one knew. I was like how can you list this as a strength if you don't even know if it's effective. So I talked to Emma about doing some research and he said he'd talk to some schools and get me in if I come up with a survey.
In other news, Nive and I have been hanging out a lot, which is nice. We're going to go swimming tomorrow. It's kinda funny. No one here knows how to swim, but one of the hotels has a pool you can go to. We're both looking forward to it.

Hi Mary,
I'm glad that you found someone that you can hang out with. Does your friend know Jesus? It would be great if you are in Uganda to show Nive the love of Christ. Pray about it. Keep safe.
Love ya,
