I am making a general public announcement that it will be likely
that I will effectively get no internet for the next few months. Well, that is
sort of true. Every two weeks I go to the internet café – about an hour and a
half away – to turn in HNGR assignments. On this time I also check email, maybe
post blogs, etc. I usually don’t have the time to both read emails and respond
to them. Instead I copy them into a Word document, read and write a reply to
them back at the school, and then send the reply when I get internet again. Now
that I get internet once every two weeks, that may mean that in a month I’ll reply
to you. Before certain aspects of my internship gave me internet access: trips to
Kampala where I can connect (the capital of Uganda), planning trips in August
via email, and trips to another school where I can could get connected. Now all
of these are all gone, so I suspect that I will not be able to get much access.
I am writing this as a warning. Don’t be offended if I am unable to respond to
you quickly. It’s not personal, just technological. I am writing this as a
blog, because my blog is the most public way I know to communicate this. Many
of my readers I suspect I have already told this to.
The same is
true with the phone: my ability to call people is hindered because of
insufficient network coverage.
Also, I am
well aware that my blog could use more pictures. The problem is that at the
internet café, I can’t really post pictures. The computers aren’t good enough
and the internet is not fast enough. This is something I am trying to correct
and will be corrected, even if so when I get back to the U.S….
