Saturday was good and rough at the same time. We made our way from Kampala the capital to Mbale where we'll be staying. I was kinda scared bc the driver was going 130km/hr! lol But we made it there in one piece. The natural beauty of the country was overwhelming. I had never been around that man y trees and they just seemed so much more vibrantly green than I've seen before (stay tuned for pics!). That night though, I got pretty sad bc of ex and family issues and the fact I didn't have friends or tv/internet to distract me made me face and feel all my emotions head on. After crying it all out I felt relieved and hope I'll feel better as the summer goes on.
That night we also got to talk to Mr Kimera (project manager in TASO Mbale) about our interests ans also what type of projects we might work on. I'm excited because I'll most likely get to visit the refugee camps they have in Gulu (Northern Uganda). He also said they have a psychiatirc unit near the TASO center where I could learn more about the psychosocial programming and other mental health programs.
