I have been back in Gulu for about two weeks now.  Rwanda was very emotional, and I am glad I was able to experience it.  It has been nice being back in Gulu, seeing familiar territory, and seeing familiar people.  It's also nice to use the little Acholi that we have learned.

Currently, I am in my first official week of independent research.  I no longer have any classes, I am solely attending to my internship and conducting my research.  My research topic is still the same: relief efforts of the World Health Organization pre-, during, and post-conflict in northern Uganda so I am looking at between 1987 and present-day.

I am interning with the World Health Organization office in Gulu.  This not only allows for me to conduct research on this exact topic, it allows for me to learn more about the organization.  My dream is to work for the World Health Organization one day, so this feels closer to making that dream a reality.
