Forbes Article

Barbara Bush (the daughter - who is the founder of Global Health Corps) quoted me in an article published yesterday in Forbes - pretty cool! http://www.forbes.com/sites/skollworldforum/2013/07/21/a-decade-of-success-in-the-global-fight-against-hiv-and-aids/

pre-Nostalgia

I've started taking photos of silly normal things.

Arrivals gate at Entebbe airport.... I have come through this gate 23 times in the past 2 years!

Entebbe airport... not a great airport, but a beautiful view of Lake Victoria and a sweet humidity in the air that hits me every time I step off the plane.

Naomi, the lady who brings me a box of cut mangoes every morning in the office for ~$2.  Naomi and I started crying when I told her I was leaving (beyond being friends, I am also by far her best mango customer).  

 Nairobi airport.  Worse than Entebbe airport.

 Plate of food in Addis, yum

 The Ministry of Health and CHAI people I work with in Ethiopia

 There will be more I'm sure.

In and near Kampala

Some happy times with friends

 Leah, hike in Mabira forest

 CJ, after we found our way out of Mabira forest

 Weekend on an island in the middle of Lake Victoria for Noorin and Amaan's farewell from Kampala

 Me, Barty, Lindsay, Noorin, Nora, Hugo, Amaan, Justin

Brunch, my porch, today, yummy

Crescent Island

Last week, my team for work had a meeting in Lake Naivasha.  We got to spend an afternoon on Crescent Island in the middle of the lake, and it met the definition of awe-inspiring.  Walking around among giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeests and water bucks on a beautiful island was simply beautiful beyond belief.

New home

Well, two new homes really.
1. The gorgeous apartment I moved into a month and a bit ago with Lindsay.  I pinch myself every time I sit on our porch and look out over flowering trees, palm trees, and the beautiful city I have been lucky to call home for the past two years.

2. Cambridge!  One more month until I leave Uganda, wow!
