Erica in Uganda!

As most of you know, I am no longer in Cameroon and have not been for some time now. I was caught up in an ugly bureaucratic mess with the Peace Corps that shipped me home to the U.S. before I could understand the extent of the lies, cover-ups and spinelessness of some of the Peace Corps administration I encountered.

Cameroon, tu me manque beaucoup!

***

On June 12 I will happily turn over a new leaf and travel to Jinja, Uganda where I will spend one year in parternship with a local NGO called The AIDS Support Organization (TASO). The U.S. organization I am volunteering with, and who facilitated my relationship with TASO, is called Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD). If you are curious, please be sure to visit TASO's website at www.tasouganda.org.



My new address in Africa is:

Erica Williams
FSD
PO Box 1722
Jinja, Uganda

Thank you to my dear friends and family who have supported me through my unexpectedly short Peace Corps experience and in my decision to return to Africa. I am forever grateful for your kindness. I'm eager to share what's next with all of you!
