My apologies for not using this blog since my internship started over a month ago. So how are things since I came to Victoria? To quote my friend Ashley, it has all been life changing, so many workshops and sessions from jan.15 to present day. It has all paid off so well, and Videa did a fantastic job on ensuring our knowledge about our destination that was soon to come. Being in Africa, i expected that I would be shocked, surprised and maybe a little scared. Since being here, it seems to be a process to myself to fully understand that I am here, I will be living like some locals. I have been here in Jinja town for over a week now, and it is a comfortable town to settle in for, for my four month internship. It is quite nice here, but it is also difficult at times. My stipend is comfortable one to live on, but seeing some of the local people hungry and sometimes asking for money is a hard thing to ignore. But it's my work here at WomenFirst Uganda, that maybe the start of new development amongst the many other organisations here. It is those little things in life that can really start a ripple effect for a wealth of new good things to come. Many more updates to come on this Journey.

See you Soon
