Hi! My name is Allie and I’m very excited to be in Uganda. I grew up in New York State, but spent the past two years in Texas. I have a masters degree in International Affairs from The George H. W. Bush School of Government and Public Service. (Gig ‘em Ags!) In my spare time I like to swim with sharks, ride bulls, and do headstands. I’m really happy to be going to Uganda as part of the education sector since I’ve enjoyed teaching a variety students from toddlers to college athletes. I hope you like our blog!

Hey ya'll, I'm Emily C and am PUMPED to begin my Peace Corps service in Uganda. I graduated with a Sociology degree from Susquehanna University, where I was given my first chance to travel abroad (a four month trip to The Gambia in West Africa.) For the past year, I have worked as an AmeriCorps volunteer with Colorado Reading Corps, just outside Denver. I'm excited to take the knowledge I have gained from my experiences in college, abroad, and elementary school tutoring and apply it in Uganda, while also rising to new challenges and constantly learning more!

I went to the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA and graduated in May 2016 with a degree in Physics. Peace Corps allowed me to apply my knowledge to real world situations. This adventure will allow me to teach and share my skills, but also to learn about myself, Uganda, and the global community of which we are all a part of. Can't wait to keep you updated about my service!

Ki kati! Thanks so much for taking the time to read our blog and stay updated on how we are serving with Peace Corps in Uganda. I am so excited to share some of my experiences and stories with you, and while it is impossible to fully convey the complete picture of what life is like here, I hope that in some ways, the beauty and variety of Ugandan culture is made evident through the translation.
Hi blog readers! My name is Rylie and I was born and raised in Seattle, WA. I studied plant biology and Spanish at the University of Washington. Long story short - travel and volunteering have always been a part of my life so none of my friends or family were too surprised when I announced my decision to serve in the Peace Corps. Uganda is the 12th country I've visited so far and I'm planning to see a few more over the next 27 months. I hope my blog posts show my experience as a volunteer and inspire other Americans to travel in any way they can.
