Rebecca, Dickens and nine other community members in Lira Central Division have opened up their homes to host home visits for university students on placement with us.

We are hosting three students who are pursuing their studies for the award of a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition

The intention of the home visits is that students will be able to contextualize theory within practice. Its is very exciting.

Utilizing grounds of their rented home and road reserve land, Rebecca and her brother Dickens are growing vegetables, fruits and other food items.

They are earning daily income from this initiative.

In addition, Rebecca makes fabulous mandanzi for sale.

Together with the students whom I am mentoring while they are on placement with CPAR Uganda, we went on a home visit to the home of Rebecca and Dickens.

We were totally amazed at their hard work and their high economic and nutrition sense.

Civic activism rooted in humanism is the mission of blogger Owaraga Nora,

After the home visit, Rebecca delivers my order to our offices in Lira. She brought freshly harvested spinach, pumpkins and melons.
