We finally finished our pre-service
training and had an absolutely beautiful ceremony at the Ambassador’s
home. Interestingly, many of the
Ugandan’s thought that Noel was the Ambassador (as they felt the resemblance
was uncanny), and took their picture beside him. The Ambassador was out of the country and so
the assistant presided and did an excellent job. We joined 39 Peace Corps volunteers that were
sworn in the same day. They were so
excited and almost all of them wore clothing that was of traditional
fabric. They also played the Ugandan
drums and did a traditional dance. The
speeches were brief but inspiring and Noel and I could not help but feel proud
and excited about our impending experience.
Time will tell for all of us.
