Look up

One cool thing is how beautiful the stars can be at night here in Uganda. I will look up and there will be billions of stars shinning so bright. I honestly did not know that the stars could look different just because I was in another part of the world, but according to some of my friends, since there is no light pollution, this is why I am able to see the stars much more brightly and more vivid. It is really amazing, and I am always looking up at night.

The rooster crows at around 5:30am every morning, so that’s pretty much my make-shift alarm clock available for me to use every day of the week whether I want it or not.

Last night the rooster decided to begin crowing at 3:30 am, and I am not sure why.
One night a few weeks ago, it decided to crow at 9:30 at night, so I’m not too sure about that either. My host father and I looked at each other like, “what??”. Haha.. I don’t think he knew why either, and we both started laughing.
Yesturday, we had the chance to visit an organization called AIDCHILD. It is an organization that takes in children that have AIDS, but that are also orphans with no families. The organization gives them shelter, food, medicine, and best of all the love and care like a family. This has probably been one of the coolest most rewarding experiences I have had so far. The children danced and sang for us when we were there, and it was just amazing to see their spirits and how much excitement and life they had in them.. even after going through such hard times.
