Kimberly's Streams of Justice Project

I'm back! Folks it was amazing. There is so much to share on every level. The people, the work, the climate ( Uganda is called the Pearl of Africa for a reason). It will take me a minute or two to really digest everything. First things first, I recieved the first video from the law students this morning. Take a look.

Hello Everyone,

Another incredibly full day. I did the filming with the 3rd year law students in the morning, 1st year in the afternoon, and then finished off with leadership presentation skills with social workers. The main theme for everything was on trying to walk with integrity in situations that invite corruption. Not an easy subject or easy task in any culture. The attached picture shows several of the students addressing the issue of land grabbing where the conflict of custom, tradition, and modernization are in active tension.

Hello Friends...
Today was a day of extremes. I worked with a group of eager social work students to teach them action method techniques they can use with groups. Young people committed to using thier lives to combat poverty. It was moving.

The day continued with a walk through the market place. Exposed foods with flies and women trying to charge me double the price because I am a Mazungoo( foreigner). Each day here my life get's bigger and my concept of what is possible get's sharper. Many people ( not all) live with so little yet accomplish so much. I want this to keep rubbing off on me.

Tomorrow...a full day of doing drama skits with law students for the videos. The topics range from child defilement to the legal effects of polygamy. Stay tuned...
