About a month ago, my grant got fully funded and we started the process of getting the space ready to become a vocational school/library. We had finished all of the cosmetic painting, so William encouraged me to start painting a mural. It took me about a week of making a grid, drawing the countries and finally painting them. The kids love coming in and looking at all the different countries.
We had some paint left over and wanted to do a “hand mural” with the kids. I painted a trunk of a tree and had the kids do their hands for the leaves. They loved it, and I thought it was extra special because they use their hands to communicate.
To finish up the beautification process, I painted all of the left over paint cans and the kids planted flowers. They loved getting their hands dirty and thought it was pretty cool that they each got to plant their own.

Im a Peace Corps Volunteer in Namibia. Im about to finish my service here and we wanna do some traveling. We plan to be in Uganda some time after mid January. Were wondering if you could answer a few questions for us.
We dont really know many people who have traveled up to Uganda, so we dont really have any leads.
What are the best things to do in Uganda?
How much are Visas? Is there any special process we need to know about when buying them?
Generally how much do food and travel cost?
Can you free hike, or is that too dangerous? If not what are the general forms of travel, combi, bus, trains, something else?
Where are the best places to stay?
What else should we know?
How many volunteers are there?
We would appreciate any help you could give us. Please write me back at natebloss@gmail.com if you have time.
Thanks,
Nate
