		<title>I Watched a Man Die Once</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I watched a man die once.

 
It wasn’t one of those sudden instant deaths; it was the slow, suffering type. He was positioned on a mat, lying on his back underneath a mango tree. Naked—save for the thin tattered and torn sheet which barely concealed his most intimate parts—as he came into the world, he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=43&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>To Call Themselves Rwandans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its been nearly three weeks  since my visit to Rwanda.  I’m constantly being asked what the  country was like by my Ugandan friends—I reply with a simple statement—beautiful  country—very clean and well organized (very much unlike Uganda!),  friendly people—but with a heartbreaking, unthinkable history.   I’ve tried to sit and write [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=42&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shalom to the Ashamed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first part of January, I found myself in western Uganda, in the town of busy little town of Hoima for Living with Shalom (LwS)—a training sponsored by MCC and its varoius partners throughout the country. The training focused on “shalom”—living with holistic peace with yourself, your God, others, the nation and the environment. The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=38&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Invitations and Extensions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago, I attended the wedding of my language tutor, Moureen.  Soon after my arrival, she eagerly spoke of her upcoming wedding and invited me attend.  shortly thereafter, she asked me to be a maid—this of course coming as a bit of a surprise considering our relationship only rooted in a two month history.

		<title>Hands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I don’t listen to music here but for whatever reason, the song “Hands” by Jewel from a few years back has come to me and become my self-proclaimed theme song for my time here.  Jewel captures in tenderly in words what I’ve seen and felt throughout the months I’ve spent in Kamuli.  May the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=36&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All Politics Aside&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer:  I must be honest, I cannot take much credit for many of the words written below- I am a but a mere master of paraphrasing the excellent eloquence of others.  I must give credit when credit is due. Thank you John Hopkins School of Public Health for your magazine Zambia in 2005 (thanks Nurain [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=35&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes New Year’s resolutions tend to be a bit more fantasy than reality based but this year, I thought I’d give it a go and write a list of my own.  Hopefully my feet were planted firmly on the ground when writing them, if not, no worries—it just might be an adventurous year than! (some [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=34&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Christmas just wasn&#8217;t the same without&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas this year just wasn’t the same.   To begin with, it was my first one apart from my family (which I must admit to missing a bit more than I anticipated) and on top of it, I felt like I was run over by a Mack truck being sick with malaria and all.  So as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=33&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Beyond Darkness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest issue of MCC’s magazine, “Common Place”, there was a brief editorial that I found to be particularly meaningful— and thus felt the need to share this. The author articulates far better than I am able the precise paradoxical feelings of hope in the midst of all the seemingly overwhelming darkness in this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=32&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The little sense of life&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole gift-giving phenomenon and the relational core of society (not only here in Uganda but in most of Africa) and how in this context, the gift giving and the relationship are inexorably intertwined. I’ve had a few really good conversations and spent much time in thought about it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=megab33.wordpress.com&blog=1399727&post=31&subd=megab33&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
