Me and Derrick, Sept 08, originally uploaded by amanda.milholland.

The following articles up to the list of thank yous are from our third quarter 2008 newsletter.

Dear KACCAD Friends,

Change is on the horizon. This will be the last newsletter I spearhead as it is my last full quarter with KACCAD. I am finishing up my two years work with KACCAD on November 21st, 2008. Before I finish our staff and I will be training KACCAD’s new Peace Corps volunteer, Caleb Fader, to continue the projects we have started. We will also look to utilize his strengths in other areas in service of our community. As a water resource engineer, I am sure that Caleb will help Wakiso Sub-County and KACCAD grow. All of us at KACCAD are very pleased to welcome him. Caleb will begin working with KACCAD on October 8th.

Looking back I am happy to see all we have accomplished in two years. The great work we have done in health and empowerment education for youth and adults, home based counseling for people living with HIV/AIDS, voluntary community HIV/AIDS counseling and testing, water and sanitation development, student sponsorship, community income generation development and trainings and so much more could not have done without the hard work of our volunteer team and Director, our partnerships and friends. I sincerely thank all of you who have helped us do so much in two years. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the KACCAD staff and volunteers who have made my experience in Uganda one of learning, fun, big challenges and much appreciated successes. I am grateful for the hard work and even the productive debates through which we have grown as an organization and in friendship. Though I will leave in November, I will continue to be a KACCAD member for life.

Take care,

Amanda Milholland
KACCAD Peace Corps Volunteer
