Hey everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since my last update. I had stayed in the village two weekends ago and it didn't work out for me to come back last weekend so it ended up that I've spent the last three weeks in the village but it has been great. The teaching continues to be an amazing experience and the kids are so wonderful. They are a lot of fun and I will have a bunch of photos to share when I get home.

The last three weeks have also been more challenging as far as struggling to see where the money goes in the organization and not really feeling like I'm able to trust the people who started the foundation. The government here in Uganda has a lot of curruption and so it's easy to see how it could be modeled pretty easliy by an NGO. I have realized that its not uncommon for whats happening in my situation to happen in a lot of NGO's in Uganda. They don't see it as corruption. They see it as normal and how things are done. So I'll have a more in depth blog about all my experiences when I am home and able to process everything.

Sorry this is so short but I don't have a lot of time. I am looking forward to sharing picutres and stories with all of you when I return home and will have a much longer blog about the last three weeks and what I was up to.

I have three more days here in Uganda after which I will be heading back to Minnesota. Today, Sunday, I am in Jinja visiting the town and seeing some sights and tomorrow I will be heading back to Katebo until Wednesday. My flight leaves Wednesday night at 10:20pm from Entebbe airport and I will be flying to Amsterdam for a 7 hour layover. The second flight will take me to Toronto where I will have a short two hour layover and I will arrive in Minnesota at 8:07pm on Thursday July 31st.

I'm hoping to find a Starbucks at the Amsterdam airport and enjoy an Iced Passion Tea Lemonade. I'm not a hardcore Starbucks drinker but t's the one thing I've decided that I've missed the most about summer, as far as summer food, and it's going to be a a great treat.

I hope you are all doing well and I'm super excited to be heading home! Look for another update in about a week or so and I will have pictures to share as well!

Lots of love,

Lea
