When in Uganda, do as the Ugandans

PLAY FUTBALL! 

Two weeks after arriving at UCU Meghan, Casie, and I joined the UCU Lady Cardinal's futball team. Ok, they joined they team, I merely tagged along for the ride. I haven't played futball since I was about seven years old, so I was starting at ground zero. All of the girls were welcoming and encouraging in me learning the "new" sport. I had many great tutors and I feel like I did improve in my skills! I never played in a real game, but on game days I became the "Team Nurse." 


Practice, Practice Practice. 

Work, Work, Work.

It has been a great opportunity to meet many new friends, learn a sport, and enjoy the great outdoors!
