Everyone arrived safe and sound (though a little bleary-eyed and tired from the 32+ hours of travel) in Kampala yesterday. The weather was uncharacteristically cloudy and chilly as we stepped off the plane in Entebbe, but it's already warming up and the sun came out to welcome us this afternoon! We moved into our accommodations last night - the student dorms at Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in the Nakawa district of Kampala. After a scavenger hunt to get to know Kampala - finding answers to questions like "How much does it cost to send a postcard to the US?", "What was today's headline from the Daily Monitor?", and "On which side do you board a boda-boda?" - we are ready to take on the city! Students are looking forward to meeting Ugandan participants this afternoon back at MUBS, as well as a briefing n the conflict in northern Uganda from Stephen Okello, of Uganda-CAN. We have a busy and exciting program ahead of us, so stay tuned!

This SGA Immersion, focusing on Youth and Peace-Building, has 12 American participants from across the United States and Canada and 30 Ugandan participants in Kampala and Gulu.
