I found out yesterday that UNC Chapel Hill accepted me into the MPH program for Public Health Leadership. I am very happy about this! I have had a difficult spring with some personal issues, and I feel like this is a light at the end of the tunnel. I wasn't feeling at peace about attending some of the other programs that had admitted me. It would have meant living further away from my family and my young niece. Now, I do realize that there will come a time when I want to work overseas, but it is nice that I will be able to enjoy a few more years close to home.
I did talk to Kiiza today on the phone. He was in Kampala visiting a friend. It is always so good to hear his laugh. He is working on his Thesis now and will be really busy over the next few months.
I have been in touch with Samuel recently by email as well. He will hopefully be taking his end of year exams. This is his last year in high school. They have a certain exam that they take to determine if the government will assist them to attend the university level. It is quite different than in the U.S. and I am uncertain of the details.
Sorry for so long without a post...
