 I spent one year (2001) in Jinja but it was one of the most unforgettable experiences I'll ever have. Not to say I have nothing to look forward to, but to say that I regard my time in Jinja and role on the team as the meaninful and significant in many so many ways.
I worked at The Source Cafe and Resource Center alongside American and Ugandan Christians with a goal in my heart and mind of furthering God's Kingdom. The Source was a hub of activity for the churches in the surrounding villeges and in Jinja. We had worship services and bible studies throughout the week, in addition to running a cafe, craft store, library, computer training courses and internet cafe.
I also got engaged at the Source of the Nile so Jinja will always be special to me for personal reasons! My husband David spent a year in Kenya teaching at a Christian secondary school and spent some time working with the youth group at Jinja Church before returning to the states.
We are now in Doha, Qatar, until December 2005. David is a PhD student in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, PA. CMU has started a branch campus here so we came along to help get things going. David will be co-teaching a Robotics lab class and continuing his research while I keep busy with my 2 jobs. I am working in the Human Resources Department as the Orientation Administrator and I'm telecommuting to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Check our our website: www.dlduke.com.
