I thought it time
For a quick update
After a trip to site
To see my fate
Nine hours from Kampala
Awaits a quaint little town
A roundabout with four roads
Not much else around
I live at the school
My house is a dream
Surrounded by savanah and mango trees
It is quite the scene
The people so warm
Milk, tea, nuts they bring
To welcome me home
Oh, and I'm now known as Omoding
As I move one last time
My address does, too
So take note where to send post
So I can get mail from you
As always
I miss you all
I send many hugs
Can you feel them?
No, not the bugs!
So, take in the first days of spring
As flowers bloom
Snow melts
Trees bud
And we'll connect again soon.
Okay, friends, until I establish my own P.O. Box, please sent all post and packages to the following address:
Omoding Adam Kelley, PCV
c/o Serere Primary School
P.O. Box 2016
Serere, Uganda

I miss you so

eat some more bananas for me.
Enjoyed your poetry; you were always talented with it. It's partly cloudy with rain tonite and many days this week, but it's warmer. Good luck with your language proficiency exam tomorrow and your taxi ride to the capital on Monday. Get a coffee and log onto the internet when you arrive! A family of bikers just rode past. Hope you feel better soon.

Hey you!
I'm getting ready to do the roots unit in a couple of weeks and every time I look at that binder I think of you and how much love and effort you put into it and how honored I am to be able to share it with my students. I will be writing more letters soon...I hope you've gotten the others!
Love you!
