As you know, Anbar and I were the last 2 interns left for the final week of the internship with Community Concerns Uganda (CCUg). With the help of CCUg’s local Ugandan interns, we conducted the last health education presentation at another primary school; it was one of the most wonderful experiences we had while there! The school, called Wabulungu, welcomed us warmly with enthusiasm, song, and dance. It was absolutely incredible seeing how excited they were to see us and how eager they were to learn. Not only were they avid listeners and answered all of our questions, they also taught us a lot about hospitality and the importance of getting an education. They created songs that reflected their convictions about how far they know that getting an education can take them. The rest of the week was spent creating sign posts with messages about the misconceptions in health education to plant at the schools as a reminder to the students also amending our proposals for CCUg as we received feedback from our supervisors.

With heartfelt experiences and the most memorable of memories, I said my goodbyes to everyone on Saturday and Anbar did the same when he left on the following Monday. Back in America, we are each responsible for writing an evaluation for CCUg about our experiences, what we learned, and suggestions for improvement. In addition to that, I am responsible for sending a report to Nourish International about the internship and, with the insights of the other interns, explore whether or not CCUg could benefit with an additional year’s partnership with Nourish.
