backwards




1. genna and i on last night out at sombrero's dancing our faces off till 4am..
2. me with prossy, an 18 year old girl with cerebral palsy at home of hope, one of our placements..a home for children with disabilities
3. one of the men i gave a family kit to...lame and diseased, he can't move from his miniature plastic "home"
whoops...the captions i just posted for the photos in the post below this are opposite...just incase you are wondering. i'll put a few more up on this one...

i appologize for not writing at all during my last week in uganda- but i was so busy trying to tie up loose ends, say goodbyes, sort out work and school stuff...it just never happened that i had a few hours to sit in indulge and wait for the internet to upload for me!
even now i am (wow..speaking ugandan english) at home at my parents' house in summerland trying to get over jet lag enough to be able to pack my car (thanks dad) and move myself back down to abbotsford to start school (minus the first few days of classes that i have missed...whoops)
the last week was wonderful- full of amazing conversations, friends, meals, nights out and not much sleep. i spent time with people i loved and enjoyed the most- in turn making leaving all that much harder when the time came around on monday morning.
i don't know how much i can say to process my emotions, just that my heart is stuck in uganda and i can't wait to return in 8 months.
SO, until next time...or until i maybe post again about some closing thoughts/photos, thank you for reading my updates and thinking of me the past three months.
xxxxxxxxxx vicks.
