Today was long but amazing!

We started the day with a journey to the US Embassy, where we were greeted by Grey Saga. He and his colleagues introduced us to the work they are doing with the USAID.

From there, we made our way to the Kampala International University in Tanzania. Dr. Hurley’s old friend from Ilula (whose name I do not know how to spell!) was our lovely tour guide. He is currently in his 2^nd year of medical school. We were joined by another individual and together they guided us around the university. But not before sitting down for a delicious lunch of rice, plantains, beans, and fish at the university cafeteria!

Throughout our tour, everyone was quite enthusiastic to have us and they were all very welcoming. This particular university campus is about 4 years old and is still undergoing more construction. The main campus, I’m told is in Kampala, Uganda. There are other what I will call branches or campuses in several other countries ( 5 in total), with the one in Tanzania being one of them. We were able to tour the classrooms, the anatomy and physiology labs, and many other departments.

After about a 2+ hour campus tour, we hopped on our bus and headed back to Wista’s. We are all looking forward to catching up and resting up for the evening before heading to Ilula tomorrow morning.
