Hmm, a few things I'm integrating in my life back here.....
The more I am taking time to step back and think, the more I am realizing my life has...dramatically changed. Of course, there are the little things...like how I'm still barely turning the knob on the faucet when I wash my hands so I can save water, only using a few sheets of toilet paper and how I've only been clothes shopping once since I returned.
But these little actions are just a trickling of what really changed - God grew my heart for people in poverty more than I could ever have hoped for. I am beginning to understand what it means to have a heart for injustice. I am looking onto my campus with a new pair of eyes - eyes that are popping out of my head when I see how people need God just as badly as people needed God in uganda.

After experiencing a new culture with different lifestyles it is very easy to fall into a feeling of guilt for the great life you have had compared to others. I think it’s important to raise awareness about what’s going on in places like Uganda. I work with Survivor Corps and wanted to pass along the information about Guluwalk- it’s an event to raise awareness and funds for the children of Uganda that have been left behind by war.
Hope this information gives you a sense of others that want to make a difference as well.
