Pictures of my time

I'm back in Canton, Texas and looking forward to sharing my experiences in person with each of you. If anyone else besides Canton Elementary would like to arrange a chat, please email me at laurenmteel at gmail.com

Here are a few other pictures from my time:

This elephant was very close to our car!


Sipi Falls: a beautiful natural landmark of Uganda


Tea time is very important in Uganda. These are mugs from our school's dining hall. Tea is served to all guests as well as taken by everyone in the morning and in the evening. It is given as a way to show to show others that they are valued.

The End

The semester is coming to a close and I am finishing my last term paper. We leave for Entebbe on Sunday for debrief and the USA on Tuesday. I look forward to posting more pictures when I return to the US and also seeing you in January!

This semester has held many cross-cultural and cross-geographical experiences. From visiting Murchison Falls on safari to hiking at Sipi Falls, homestays in the city and rural areas, attending class with Ugandan and American professors, befriending Africans young and old, I have learned so much. One of the coolest things you should learn from my experience is that you can do this too! Dream big; you are going places!

Until we meet again,
Lauren

Safari

I spent the weekend on safari in Murchison Falls National Park. It was vast, majestic, and had vibrant colors! I will upload more pictures later when the internet is possibly a little faster.

Hippos!
