Phone Call

It’s Gail here with a quick update; I got a call from my mom this morning and thought I would pass along some information for those that are interested. She does not have internet access at this point, but did just purchase a cell phone. She has arrived in the city of Luweero where they will be doing their 8 weeks of intensive language and cultural training. She is staying with a family that has electricity, a flush toilet that they use at night and a cold shower, which all sounded like luxuries! The family has 4 children; 11, 10, 9 and 7, the Dad is a Reverend and I believe the Mom stays home.

They speak 5 languages in Uganda and she has learned that her language assignment while she is there will be Lugandan and she will be in Central Uganda, but she does not know exactly what she will be doing. She has requested to do work with mothers and infants and is actually doing a presentation this Friday with another woman at a local hospital to young mothers about breastfeeding. If anybody wants to know more they can email me at gailskluzacek@yahoo.com
