Welcome to my Uganda Experience Home Page

 

 

Introduction

 

Hi, Thanks for visiting my web-page. Over the coming year I hope to share my experiences with you and to show you a little of how life is lived in the beautiful country of Uganda. I have spoken with many people here in Ireland who have lived there and they all talk of the beauty of the countryside, the friendliness of the people and of their desire to return some day. 

I'm certain it won't be easy settling in. The heat and the differences in culture will most certainly take their toll early on. Please tell your friends about this site, bookmark it (press 'CTRL' + D buttons together) and visit it often or even make it your home-page . Please also visit my sponsors' web-pages. They have been extremely generous in their support. Without them in fact the project could not even have got off the ground.

I hope to keep this site interesting and I will always welcome your input. Thanks for your support.
