My first meeting in Mufufu “a” Village October 2024

Third Site Assignment

October 12, 2025

10 months

Third Site Assignment

Masindi Town, Midwestern Uganda

I had another security incident in July 2025 and have since moved to my third site. It is a sensitive subject. I was not injured. I really can not share the details of what happened.

I miss my dog who slept outside my gate door. She is the one who protected me the last night in the Lira district. I live in a different region now


I have put together this blog as a place to describe my work experiences from this last year. I am having a difficult time adjusting to city life but as Peter says, “no one told me that living independently in Uganda was going to be easy.”
