Here's a picture of the house which is home for the next six weeks.
It takes it name from the new Masters programme which Jean Chamberlain/Froese (currently back in Canada), has pioneered here at UCU, in partnership with Interserve. The multi-disciplinary degree is part-time and modular, in Public Health, with the specific aim of improving maternal health across the developing world - where thousands of women every week die from preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth. The qualification is designed for lawyers, government officials, health care workers, educators, and other interested parties with the ability to influence policy and practice. www.savethemothers.org and www.ucu.ac.ug for more information.
The house stands high above and to one side of the UCU campus, with a breathtaking view over Mukono to the green hills and tea-estates to the north-east. Proximity to Mukono town, on the other hand, means we are prone to all the sounds of the town - including late night parties on Saturday and the daily morning (5am) call to prayer from the mosque. On the other hand, we are close to the surrounding woodland and so have blue and red-tailed monkeys crossing the lawn morning and evening to leap around the trees!
