Day 9 - DANCE!

We started out the day with a talk with an expert on gender issues in Uganda. It was very interesting and I had a lot of very different views than the speaker. After lunch, we met with the Inspector General of IGG. IGG is the organization that fights corruption in Uganda. In the evening, we had a cocktail at MUBS with the president of MUBS. It was so much fun!!!! The entertainment and food was great. I ate with the religious leader on campus and had a very good conversation. In Uganda, the professors can start class by preaching the gospel and praying. How cool is that? He told me I had a great smile and challenged me in the way I live my life. I will be attending his church on Sunday. After dinner we all danced! It was dark out and the reggae music was very loud. It was so much fun and all the Ugandan professors were dancing as well. It was great! Afterwards, some MUBS students came back to Red Chili and some of us spent a few hours with them. Robinah, one of the students, gave me her sweater yesterday because I said I liked it and she said we are good friends. It was so nice of her and I love all of our new friends so much!!
