The thing I love most about traveling is that it opens my
mind to concepts, experiences, lifestyles and morals that I’ve never
encountered before. So many of you have shown such humbling support of and
interest in my time interning with Sole Hope in Uganda and I want to find a way
to share what I’m learning with you. I wish that I could fly you all over to
Entebbe and put you on public transport to Jinja for the full Ugandan travel experience,
but unfortunately I don’t think my odds of winning the lottery anytime soon are
that great. Recently though I’ve been realizing that many of the challenges I’m
facing here translate into lessons that are just as applicable to life at home
as they are to life in Uganda. So I’m going to try something: each day for the
next week I will post about a lesson I’ve learned from simply living and
working in a culture very different from my own and include a challenge that I
feel could help you all experience a similar lesson wherever you may be in the
world. I can’t make any promises that this will be super meaningful to you or
that I will actually post every single day because Lord knows I’ll probably
forget at least once, but what’s the harm in trying?
