I welcome you to my blog. It needed serious committment to come up with this. This happened at a time when I was extremely busy and felt developing a blog would be a great idea and outline whatever I was doing. I welcome your suggestions and ideas for the better publication and look of the blog.

I strongly believe your suggestions and ideas, are ideal to further and make my blog better.

I wish you a great tour and hope to hearing from you………..

This space will be updated everytime with wonderful images from the great city of New York. It’s my pleasure to share with you some of these images before I can introduce to the work I am doing in New York.

Having struggled with the visa, while still in Uganda, I finally made it to my placement in New York, United States of America. It was such hardwork, pulling of muscles for both the World Education Corps and I to secure a US visa. It was a big relief that I finally secured the visa.

It was such an experience because since it was my first time attending a visa interview and you can imagine starting your interview for the visa at the US or UK consulate. These are the toughest consulates in the country.

I made it to New York on 05th October, 2005. At the JFK airport, I was received by Ed Gragert, the Executive Director of iEARN. While still at home, I was told that, I was going to stay at International House (I.H) and having read through I.H profile, you can imagine how curious I was to arrive at I.H. I finally arrived at I.H on the night of 05th october. It’s an amazing place with all people from almost all parts of the world. Infact I.H could be related to United Nations. It’s a community that makes you feel pretty much at home.

I begun slowly emerging from the jet-lag and quickly establish myself as a popular I.H resident by involving in different activities including tutoring and playing soccer.
In brief, that’s my journey to New york ………………..

Thanks for reading this and welcome you to visit my blog again.
