Arriving in Kampala!!

Three days have passed since I came to Kanpala, Uganda.
When I arrived at the airport walking along the ramp I strongly feel that I will come here again someday in the future as a development specialist. It was may be because I saw some passenger plain as well as WFP and UN aircraft.
As I have expected the airplain from Haneda to Entebe, where the international airports locates via Dubai was perfect. I think Fly Emirates is the best airlines. Flight attendant was so beautiful and servises were perfect. We could order two beverages during a meal.
After arriving Entebe, we, group of twelve got on a bus to Kampala. Kampala is located about 40km northeast from Entebe. While I was on the bus I saw Lake Victoria. It was huge and seemed like a sea.
It took about one hour to Kampala, We passed some villages along with the main street.
After arriving Kampala, we saw some skyscrapers. The traffic was busy but I liked the atmosphere.
Since we came here we stayed at dormitory and we went to JICA office in Kampala. We have a meal in restaurant and bought some food and cooked in our domitory. I think we don't know much about the reality of Kampla. We are supposed to stay at dormitory for the next one month and we won't have a training for both Saturdays and Sundays. Since today is Frinday, I will go out and see around the city tomorrow. I can't wait to go to and see how the society of Kampala works. I'm excied!!

Leave for Uganda on 28th of June


After my long journey in Europe the year in 2009-2010, I came back to Japan and started to be my senior school year. I graduated from my university in March 2011.
After graduation I enrolled online university in order to get a licence working as a primary school teacher in Japan. During that year I worked at after-school, a care of schoolchildren and kindergarden as well as cram school. It took three years to get a licence, and luckly I found a job working as a teacher at public elementary school in Tokyo. I worked there for about three years and then, I decided to apply for JOCV program. There are several reasons but mainly I thought I am the one who can do that and I want to be the one. 
Since JICA(the organization which this program provides) chose me to be a teacher in Uganda, I accepted the requiment and then, officially I will be a teacher in Uganda.
I will leave for Uganda on 28th of June. I miss some part in Japan but this is what I wanted and I am really looking forward to working as a teacher in Uganda. I will update this blog as much as I possible. I am glad if you follow me:)) Thank you kenny much!!
