Today Sr. Cecilia, Sr. Elizabeth, Bry'Chell and I went to the American Embassy in Kampala. The reason for the visit was to explore educational opportunities for Cecilia and Elizabeth--specifically Ph.D. programs in the US. Hopefully, Ph.D. programs with generous fellowships.
Connie, the educational specialist was a real help. She was able to point us toward the right resources and provided a list of organizations that fund scholarships and fellowships for international students, especially graduate students.
Bry'Chell had to tag along because she's out of school and I don't like to leave her alone all day. Besides, her friend Patricia was with us. On our way to Kampala, we dropped her off at the Taxi Park outside Kampala so she could catch a shuttle back to Entebbe, her home. The two of them took forever to say goodbye. I hate to think what it will be like when we leave Uganda in six weeks.
That's right, six weeks and we'll be on our way back to Chicago. It's hard to imagine.
