I would follow the international news up to the date of your departure if you are nervous. Other than that, things to watch out for are sicknesses. I did get sick from drinking bad water in Uganda. However, I was taken to the hospital and was fine. Malaria as well- be sure to wear bug spray daily and use your net at night. The country being stable, safety in Jja jja's home at Hope Academy is not an issue. They have a rather extraneous night guard but at no point during my stay was our safety ever threatened by outsiders. The Ugandans themselves are unfailingly honest. I had many many more issues with things being stolen and personal safety in South Africa, in the much more developed area of Cape Town. Unless something goes seriously awry before you leave, and you watch what you drink/watch our for mosquitos (there is only so much you can do- as JM once said, the rest is up to God) you should be fine. I am really excited for you. This is an opportunity not to be missed. Uganda and HIA will change you forever in the best possible ways. Please contact me at molly.dierks@gmail.com if you have any more questions or concerns, and I will happily respond! Hey Megan,

I am graduating from a University in the U.S. this June and have been in contact with John Mary about teaching for a year at Hope Academy. It is my dream to do so and John Mary has been so awesome at helping to make that dream more of a reality. Now, as I am getting closer to making my final decision, my family (as well as myself a bit) is worried about the safety and stability of Uganda. I was wondering if anyone can reassure me with the safety of a young female from the U.S. coming to Hope Academy? Particularly Molly, if you are reading the posts if you could respond to tell me a bit about your experience? (I'm also up for emailing if you feel comfortable). Thanks Hi!

Its beautiful and gives a wider perspective of URF activities. So many people especially children are under priviledge and dont have a voice out there. But with URF in place am optimistic there is a brighter future ahead of our children. With the seminars being arranged, children will gain the confidence to always express their views before their peers and bigger crowds. Thanx once again, for the great work.
