this should be in the bill of human rights!
in our village we have conducted a HIV testing date with 100 people showing up and since the nurses didn’t come with enough strips, we are having another one this friday. Out of those, only one person tested positive; however, she isn’t the only wife and she has a daughter, so the actual infection can quickly add up. although it is just one, one is too much for me! people even said that when we were mobilizing what services will they have since they might want to commit suicide if they were found positive the other day our village broke ground on the shallow well for safe water. it is right next to the swamp where they usually get water and seriously it is the color of my dirty laundry. i was not only disgusted at the conditions, but also at that thought that this is not uncommon! this should be a given, clean water for all for all men, women, and children! i am excited for the commission and the partnership that was created with engineers here at uganda. i wish there was a group of ppl just traveling around just making shallow wells, anyways, got to get going a write the report and get stuff done. miss you all but i am reallly reallly going to miss this place at the same time!
