About Me

"Be the change you want to see in the world."


Hi, we are Lauren and Kelli. Last year we volunteered in East Africa, Uganda for over 2 months. Since coming back, we have been trying to figure out how best to modify our program to continue to help those we met while over there. Please be patient with us, updates are slow to come at the moment. You can check out our Lauren's blog about our misadventures at www.projectsuubi.blogspot.com!

I don't know any lullabies

I thought I knew a lot about babies. But I think the majority of my knowledge is collected from the mélange of late 80's movies like Three Men and a Baby and Look Who's Talking. What information I...

F& is for Food Poisoning

  I have been reluctant to eat the meat here. I am not assuming that the meat in the United States is any better prepared or processed. Okay, never mind, I will assume that, only because he...

  My first sunday here I attended a church service at the Calvery Chapel, only because it was sort of an obligation. (Mom- I know you are jumping up and down with joy at this admittance.) ...

Our Project Suubi Fundraising Party

Our fundraising party is over and now I can officially exhale. Planning parties is kinda a lot of work. I think I will just stick to going to them and not running them. The party was held on an amazi...
