December 2011/January 2012: As a nursing student, I had 6 weeks to travel to Tanzania and Uganda with Mtui. We spent the Christmas holiday with friends on the coast of Tanzania in a deserted village called Ushongo. It took us a 10-hour bus ride and 3 motorbike rides to reach this place. We camped on the beach and celebrated the holiday. During our time in Tanzania, Mtui purchased land to begin constructing his current house in Ngulelo and I was one of the land purchasing witnesses :)

Pediatric HIV/AIDS Clinic
In Uganda, I volunteered as a nursing student at a pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic. We stayed with our friend William who is a doctor at the clinic. We were staying in Jinja, which is a beautiful village located off the coast of the Nile River.
