This week I got to spend time in Jinja working with UAPO (The Ugandan American Partnership Organization) at their main office.
I help out UAPO in Pajule, working with a women's group about 12 km from the town center. They weave grass mats that are later turned into handbags and sold internationally. The women in Jinja make paper beads necklaces and I got to take part in the monthly bead collection and paper sale. It was a lot of fun to meet the ladies and to see a different aspect of UAPO. Being in Jinja, the source of the Nile and a beautiful touristy town, wasn't so bad either.
