I have not posted in a few days to internet connection problems, adapter problems, and a brown out. But it is better late than never! On day two we went to both the Bugandan parliment and the Ugandan parliment. Buganda is the largest tribe in Uganda. Recently, relationships with the central government have caused riots and other problems. But we are safe now! Both parliments were very interesting and I learned alot! I am even changing my research paper to cover the relationship between the tribes and the government and how it relates to sustainable development. At the Buganda parliment we met with the minister of education and then went to the Kabaka's palace. The Kabaka is one of the many names for the Buganda King. We saw lots of little kids who nearly attacked the Drake students for candy to touch our hands. However, as cute as they were, I sat this one out to spend time with the students from MUBS. I think that is most of what happened this day, but the relationships we are making with the students here are great! I am so excited to get to know them even more!
I will add Day 3 later. Today is Day 4 and we are heading west for four days, will be crossing the equator!
