Peace Corps Volunteers in Uganda

Welcome! Thank you for checking out our blog. Here you'll find different perspectives about our service in Uganda. We're so happy to tell you about our time during pre-service training, volunteering during our services time, and our travels throughout the world.

The idea for this blog grew out of a conversation we had on the very first day of pre-departure training in Washington DC in November 2016. We hope you enjoy learning about our experiences as we navigate through our time as Peace Corps Volunteers.

Much Love,

Peace Corps Cohort 5 Uganda November 2016
