i'm on my way to uganda (my partner and child's father is from there so it's a working vacation) this summer to do some research on social work there with the intent to return to do work in HIV/AIDS like i'm doing in Jamaica.

i'm very interested in linking with any contacts you may have.

Social Support Alive in Uganda

"Recently, I've had opportunities to visit organizations that are
committed to eradicating poverty in Uganda through cultural, social and
economic activities. One such group is Meeting Point International
(MPI), a Ugandan non-governmental organization that works in four of the
poorest-of-the-poor areas in Kampala. I visited one of these communities
with Rose Busingye, the Director of MPI, who showed me how social
support is enriching the lives of these villagers, especially women."
