Gulu

I arrived in Gulu yesterday, and for now am staying with Emma, his wife Jackie, and their daughter Hope. Hope is almost 2 and is adorable!
There are a lot more bugs here than in Kampala. I almost decided to give up and come home last night when I woke up to a giant cockroach crawling across my neck at 3am. I couldn't fall back asleep. Mosquito nets don't keep out bugs that can crawl under them! After my first "shower" in almost a week, I felt a lot better. Of course, by shower, I mean washing in a bucket of water. Sarah was right about cutting off my hair to make things easier, but I can't do it. I love my hair too much! I can survive 2 months with it being dirty most of the time. (Michelle, you would never survive here...haha). I think the thing I miss most is toilets & toilet paper. Here, it's a hole in the ground and you just kinda shake it off.
Anyways, I'm very happy I'm here despite the challenges. I'm looking forward to a great summer.
Oh yeah, I wasn't on tv this time b/c they wanted a student who was attending the university in Kampala sponsored by UYAP, but they're going to do another program about the Lost Children's Day in July that I may be on since Emma wants me to help coordinate that.
The soccer game was so much fun. Even better b/c we won!
