Today was the first day that I walked though the village by myself to one of my schools- Bigodi primary to attend a parent meeting. It was great to recognize people and be recognized by people that I actually know and not as just that Mzugna.
When I got to the school the headmaster greeted me and said "we have high expectations for you", I hope I can meet them. The challenges in the schools are so great that I hope I can make a small difference.
On the days when I think - six months seems like a very long time to be here, I just look at the teachers who have put so much faith in me and think I have to find a way to make a difference.

Happy to hear your thoughts as I have walked the very paths you are now walking. I was there in 2003 and 2004 and have forever been changed. Please give my regards to all of the wonderful teachers at Bigodi Primary and Secondary as well as Benson at Nyabubale. Tinka is a treasure.
