We are entering our last two weeks in Masaka. I can't believe that I have been here for 2 months already. It has been full of learning.
At the regional hospital, I have been part of support groups, home visits, medication counting and clinician sessions. I have a new appreciation for the challenges for treatment here and have gotten to know many patients. The distance that people travel, the barriers at the hospital... I take for granted all the services that I am able to access for my clients in Vancouver.
At Tekera, we have spent a lot of time with the children in the school. The loveliest experience is when the young children were doing gym outside. They were singing and jumping around. It was so fun to participate with them. They are so full of joy and are thankful for their education. It is such a beautiful place.
As the time is finishing, I will take all the moments from Uganda back home and cherish them. I look at my pictures and can't wait to tell everyone the stories that I have experienced. I will see everyone when I get home.
