Please note that this blog does not reflect the views of the U.S. Peace Corps. It reflects Sarah Zoutendam's views during her Peace Corps term in Uganda, during her equally harrowing readjustment to the US, and during her medical school journey. Whew!

Wildflowers
Sister Christine brought flowers to our school. She did it a while ago, scattering wild flower seeds over corners and in areas where nothing else was growing. The other sisters, too, love flowers-- their bowls, their cups, their pots, all adorned with different patterns of flowers. Their prayer room, separated from my living quarters only by a thin wall, has a vase with those wild flowers inside. They themselves are varied, planted in Kazo, and beautifying the girls' lives and mine. Sister Christine says that being a sister does not change you, instead you are used to beautify in your uniqueness.
