Ssese Islands

Last weekend, we went on a fellowship retreat on the Ssese Islands (in Lake Victoria) for all the Global Health Corps fellows based in Uganda.  It was a lot of fun and nice to have time to discuss what we have done so far and what our goals are for the rest of the year.  The islands are quiet, but really, really beautiful. We had a bonfire, ate good food, went swimming at night, and just enjoyed each other's company.

The only bad part of the weekend was when I woke up on Saturday morning to discover that I had slept next to the below pile of mouse (we think) poop - SO GROSS!  It seems to have been hidden under the blanket and the bed hadn't been made for a long time.  Pretty horrifying.  The next night, my friend volunteered to sleep in the affected bed (the sheets had been changed), and I was very, very grateful.
