P.S....

Laura put up some pics of the wedding that are pretty sweet: http://www.lauramartel.blogspot.com/

Also I forgot to mention that in the first week of December I participated in World Aids Day and National Day for the Disabled.
For WAD I was on te radio! Woohoo! I talked about the events for WAD and also stigma and getting tested. I attended a candle light vigil in Kasama then went to the main event in Chanda Mukulu (a village in Kasama District) and spent the whole day distributing condoms and encouraging people to go for VCT. It felt good to participate in World Aids Day in a place where so many of the people involved are truly affected...I involvement felt really purposeful.

On National Day for the Disabled I was invited to a celebration in President's park where my friend Catherine had some drama performances with her group. There was a marching band and everything! Pretty awesome...and after the ceremony two of my pupils from school came up to greet me (in sign language.) Some other deaf people that were attending the event saw us talking and came to greet me, soon enough I was surrounded by all of Kasama's Deaf (there are way more than I knew about!) kinda overwhelming but also pretty cool! I also never knew this day existed so I'm glad it was brought to my attention (especially now that I am working primarily with disabled people!)
