I found your blog by chance while searching for photos of the Tuareg. I had the opportunity to spend some time with them while I was traveling across North Africa a couple years ago. I am now studying public health, and I am fascinated with your blog. TB is certainly an important and pressing health issue - in Africa and around the world. I plan to follow your and keep up with your activities. Good luck! Hi JustIn Uganda!

Basket Sun, 17 May 2009 14:03:55 +0000 http://healingnumenor.wordpress.com/?p=640#comment-233 Given that non-Muslims are barred from entering the mosques, what else is there to do in Timbuktu? For a Western tourist, it sounds like a 1 night stay would be plenty of time. What did you eat, and where? Did you bring bottled water with you? Did you stay in a "hotel"? What about the flies? Did you use mosquito nettings? I'm guessing that Timbuktu is like a living ghost town. The tourist stays one night, snaps a few pics, then leave. I've never been to Africa, so I have lots of questions. I appreciate your insights. Given that non-Muslims are barred from entering the mosques, what else is there to do in Timbuktu?

I have been in Uganda close to 4 months volunteering in the Mulago and Makerere Beupa, through an NGO named PEDN. I worked with the children primarily on art and clay projects. We, (myself, two teachers, and the executive director of the NGO I am currently working for) are now in the process of opening an Educational/Vocational center for these very children. Initial funding is coming from our charitable organization in Vancouver, Canada which has been set up for this purpose. We expect to have this project up and running by winter/spring 2010. The center will be located outside Kampala and the children will board there. We expect to accomadate approximately 50 children (from the two Beupa) to start, with expansion projected for the future. If you have any comments, suggestions or contacts that may be of assistance to us, I would enjoy hearing from you.

I love reading about your incredible journey. And I just realized that the date for your latest post is April 20th, which is still 4.5 hours away in Chicago. I think the favorite thing I read was about how Mohammad called you his brother. I imagine they are very wary of tourists in general, and, specifically, Americans, who can certainly be ugly tourists. But you obviously made a wonderful impression on him. Enjoy the rest of your time in Uganda! Amazing, Justin. I love reading about your incredible journey.
