I am probably going to be going to Uganda for the summer. A friend of a friend came to stay with us last week for a new student day or something b/c she's coming to GSPIA next fall, and her former principal is from Uganda, so she gave her my information, and I've been talking to her. She knows someone (Emmanuel Lutokumoi)who was or is director of United Youth Action for Progress. He is currently working with Rise International and Safe Passage Foundation on a Lost Children Memorial (check out the Rise page for some info). He also runs Teokono Vocational School in cooperation with Gulu University working on child protection, education, and food security.
This is pretty much what I've been wanting to do for the past 2 years, so I'm really excited about this opportunity. I emailed him today for more information about the program, so I'll update when I find out more.
