After 6 fantastic weeks at Hald we have created friendships from all over the world and some fantastic memories together. The lessons at school has given us quiet good introduction into the interesting topics as; cross-cultural communication, development aid, poverty and global understanding. The greatest memories has after all been created after the lessons from the moments together at the football- or volleyball field, playing cards, singing and dancing, laughter and joy from sharing our own culture. Our daily life has been rather isolated in an awesome bobble, and even though we could have stayed at Hald the whole year, it was time to go abroad, and for my partner Vegge and me “this time for Africa…”
From Hald we are 12 students staying in Uganda for the next 6-7 months; 2 teams from Focus and 4 teams from Act Now. Very exciting ! Leaving my home before the sun got up, we arrived our new home after dark in a new continent with; different banana types for breakfast, lunch and dinner (seriously), crazy traffic, wonderful people and HOT climate and culture. The mzungus seemed to be as ready as possible for their internship, but was Uganda ready for the mzungus ?
We where met at the airport by some of our leaders for the projects, including our leader at Miles 2 Smiles; Kathrine. We had heard so much about her, but what a wonderful lady she seems to be. This was a good start, and a great first impression of our new home; Uganda !
