最近、アメリカからの留学生の影響を受けて、ウガンダに少し興味を持ちました。私が知っているウガンダはアミン大統領の独裁政治、そして常に争いの絶えない怖い国ということだけです。その若い留学生は医者になるための勉強をしています。彼女は年に一度ウガンダの小さな村へ行きボランティアとして医療活動を手伝っているそうです。彼女が主なメンバーになっているサイトENGEYEを見て下さい。募金活動を手伝いながら自分の勉強を頑張っている姿には感動します。２月にまた日本からウガンダへ出かけるそうです。すごい！
Recently I have become interested in Uganda because my international student, who is from the U.S., had an effect on me. I only knew that the president Amin was the Ugandan military dictator and that the country is scary because usually there is some ongoing internal insurrection. The young student is studying to be a doctor. She goes to a small village in Uganda once a year helping with medical activities as a volunteer. Please look at this site ENGEYE which she is a main member. I’m really impressed with her because she is studying medical science and helping ENGEYE with various fundrasing projects. I heard that she’s going there again this February from Japan. It’s incredible!
From the student:
