This is a blog created by H. Ryan Jones to hopefully keep all my family and friends at home up-to-date on what I'm doing in Uganda as a Peace Corps volunteer (2007-2009).
I leave in about three weeks (March 2nd!) and I've only realized in small degrees that I will be gone for two years and how much I will miss everyone.
First, here's some essentials:
My mailing address in Uganda (letters ~6 weeks, packages much longer - no boxes are better):
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE THIS HAS CHANGED AS OF APRIL 2007 (although the old one seems to work too):
H. Ryan Jones, PCV
U.S. Peace Corps
P.O. Box 29348
Kampala, Uganda
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the first 8 weeks I'll be in training for my job as a primary school teacher trainer, as well as culture & language training, and health & safety training. After that I'll be stationed in a rural village where I will probably not have running water or electricity. Thankfully, I will have a "Ugandan tutor" counterpart who will help me out in my position.
That's all for this post - more to come.
