Headed to Kampala

I am headed to Kampala, Uganda to work at the Right To Play East & Southern Africa office. I have spent the past 15 months working in Toronto, and sometimes NYC, on various fundraising initiatives. It has been a pretty incredible year! I was offered the opportunity to work in our regional office to learn from the team there about our programs and work to develop a local fundraising strategy, and I jumped at the chance to return to East Africa. I will spend one year working in Kampala and then the plan is to return to Toronto and continue working for Right To Play.

From what I have read Kampala is a very safe city, but of course I will be careful! Approximately 1.75 million people live in Kampala. It is located just north of the Equator, which means around 12 hours of sunlight / 12 hours of darkness a day. It is around 4000 feet above sea level, which I hope means its not too humid! The temperatures range from 18 - 28, with two rainy seasons. I am bringing a good rain coat along!

I have started this blog to keep people up to date on my latest adventure. I will warn in advance that I am not a witty writer. I will try to post pictures here, but will likely continue to post on facebook.

Enjoy!
