First off, the volunteers here are amazing. Actually - "amazing" is an understatement.
Seriously.
If you ever follow my other blogs and articles, you know I'm not impressed with most people. I rarely meet someone that challenges my thoughts. Further, I rarely meet someone that leads a life I admire and strive to mimic.
Translation: The volunteers here are badass.
They devote their lives to helping people here - and they do it with a good attitude. It's exactly what they want to be doing. They are leaving friends, family, comfort, etc. behind in the U.S. to volunteer in Uganda. Say what? Who actually does that these days? I'm impressed.
Food update:
I had a DELICIOUS fruit today. Jackfruit. Very tasty stuff (pic at the top).
ok so, two things: 1) our staff and volunteers kick ass (sorry If I am not allowed to say that!) 2) I love jackfruit too.. and if anyone says any different, I will fight them) . well, its seriously late, and am seriously tired after crazy long 14 hour Festival days.. 2 down, 2 to go... but it only makes it worth it because of the amazing people we get to serve and the amazing people we serve alongside half-way across the world. thanks dude
