I left Chicago early in the afternoon, having spent most of my summer there. Though I did have a great time at home with my family and friends, I do wish that had I stayed in Durham over the summer, I could have helped the team infinitely more than being a thousand miles away. Instead of contributing ideas, I was a burden to take care of. Anyways, I hope I can make up for this at our destination. Right now, I am on the Dallas/Fort Worth to London leg of my trip. The plane has just passed the Eastern Seaboard, and we begin flying over the vast Atlantic in the middle of the night. At Gatwick, I will meet up with the rest of the team. The CBU team includes project chairs Kerry Costello and Zoe Englander, Liza Crabtree, Phil Wolfe, Matt Ball, our mentor Dr. Schaad, and me. Our team is inexperienced. Out of all of us, only Kerry has come last summer on the site assessment trip. Matt and I are both rising sophomores. Only Liza has taken a concrete class. Though we lack in many aspects, that is not entirely a bad thing, as we will certainly gain many new experiences on our trip. There is one thing I am anxious about for this trip. In Luganda, there is a word for white man. On websites, they say that they treat them like rich foreigners, kind of in a good way. But I am the only Asian going on this trip. What will they treat me like? Do they have a word for me? Will they treat me differently than my classmates even though I am American? I never got to ask Yvonne or Yaqing about it, but I guess I’ll find out soon enough. I am off to read Crime and Punishment now, one of the two books I brought (I already finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.) I will see you tomorrow, in London. -Patrick Chicago to Dallas 2 hr CBU team at RDU Dallas to London 9 hr Time zones 6 hr Hours of sleep 4 hr Last summer’s CBU site assessment team Weather: AC Hotel 1:30 AM DDT Tuesday 7.24.07 After a fast-forwarded night, I am awake near London. The flight went well; it seems that I am getting used to sleeping in uncomfortable seats, airplane food, and popping ears. I saw the part of the team from Durham at the Emirates re-check-in. The greetings and first conversations were strange. I think we are all giddy and exhausted after our long trans- Atlantic journeys. We later met Phil, who had been wandering around the duty-free stores for 3 hours waiting. Arriving at London was the beginning of realizing I am not home anymore. Everything around me was unfamiliar. British accents, airport shops, and most noticeably, the lack of Americans shocked me. Getting onto the Dubai flight made these changes more noticeable; all communication was repeated in Arabic. I do feel better now that my classmates are with me; we’re doing this together. -Patrick Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows London to Dubai 7 hours Time zones 3 hours Sleep 5 hours Halfway there! Weather: 70s, humid, partly cloudy 11 PM UDT Wednesday 7.24.07 After a horizontal night’s sleep, we leave Dubai for Uganda. Our flight first took us across the Arabian Desert to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. It was a beautiful airborne view. First, the green hills dotted with houses, and then, the sprawling city of 7 million. I sat with a Chinese- Mauritian named Bernard Huang, who told me about his family, Mauritia, and his African experiences. On my way to Entebbe, I met an Indian-African who told me his perspective on corruption in Africa. We met CBU at Entebbe, where we stuffed our van and stopped in Kampala for currency exchange, cell phone, and Italian pizza dinner. Our road trip to CBU was like a roller coaster. Upon entering Henry Hall, I was instantly reminded of that rural smell of China many years ago. I must go to bed now; everyone else has already. -Patrick Outside Entebbe Airport Dubai to Entebbe 5 hours Time zones -1 hour On the road 4 hours Elephant shaped pizza Weather: 70s, partly cloudy, light breeze 10:30 PM Thursday 7.26.07 Today was full of new experiences. I woke up early, and I got to enjoy the cool morning air and the sounds of children and birds as I waited for the team to wake up. Breakfast was simple, bread and butter (really margarine) and tea. We began on our first tank. By the end of the morning until lunch, we had chosen the cistern site on the north corner of the house, cleared and leveled the footprint, and assembled the octagonal outer form. It was a lot of work, and I am thankful that Michael and Kenneth both helped us out, especially with the hoe. Lunch was amazing. Margaret took much time and effort to prepare us rice, beef, cabbage salad, potatoes, and avocado. I was stuffed; we had to eat everything before we could leave the table. Leveling the base Before lunch was the toughest chore ever; carrying a 20 L jerrycan full of water. Walking a mile to the borehole, waiting, and pumping was no problem at all. Little did I know how much I underestimated the difficulty of this Njagala kwebaka I want to sleep. Pumping water from the borehole simple yet necessary task was. It was bad, almost like Saturday Treats. The local kids laughed at how clumsily I carried the jerrycan between my legs. Yet one kid offered to help me, though I was almost there. Water in the house became such a more valuable and luxurious item since it took so much effort. We spent lunch discussing more efficient ways to transport that water, or to fix the borehole by Henry Hall. Now our RWH project means a lot more to us. Later in the afternoon, we traveled to Kanoni to pick up rebar materials. On the way we saw several examples of rainwater harvesting. Also, the kids on the road greeted us enthusiastically with ”Muzungo” which stands for white person. Carrying our goods back, we set up the floor mesh and cut the rebar, which was also bent. Tomorrow, we will pour the concrete, and hopefully make purchases in Kampala. Oh yeah, we are meeting the diocese tomorrow at 8 AM. -Patrick Zoe carrying water on her head Kilungi (pronounced “Chelungi”) Good Cutting rebar for base Weather: 80s, more sun, breeze 12:30 PM Friday 7.27.07 I woke up alarm-clock-less at 7, early because we had to meet the minister at 8. We met Reverend Fred, his wife Sarah, and his assistant, Patrick at Fred’s house. Strangely, the conversation was awkward, with short bursts of useful talk. They were very glad to see us and welcomed our efforts. However, when Dr. Schaad said we could build multiple tanks, it seemed like they wanted to take advantage of our help for themselves.

  • RASD Summer 2007 ------Full Belly Project
    Duke Engineers Without Borders: RASD Summer 2007 ------------------- Full Belly Project Introduction: The overall goal for our work with the Full Belly Project this summer is to introduce their Universal Nut Sheller technology to the Rural Agency for Sustainable Development (RASD) and distribute the technology in the immediate areas surrounding Nkokonjero in the Mukono district of Uganda. A production facility was set-up in Iganga, Uganda earlier this summer by the Full Belly Project and a number of students from the University of North Carolina and the Olin College of Technology. During our time working with RASD, we wish to make the RASD center a distribution center by creating a market for the machines. Why we are doing what we are doing---Mission Rationale The UNS has an enormous potential to alleviate some of the stress rural citizens in Uganda face by efficiently and quickly shelling several types of agriculture. For instance, citizens in eastern Ugandans can spend hours each day shelling peanuts, a staple food source in the area. Others spend time husking coffee or shelling shea nuts. The UNS can save rural citizens hours upon hours of manual labor that can be used for far better means. Our aim is to introduce this extremely effective machine into the hands as a many people as possible. Trying to go as an outside entity (a bunch of young American, white people, more specifically) it would be very hard to introduce the technology to people in the Nkokonjero area any without any outside experience in introducing agricultural technolgies nor extensive knowledge of the area.

  • 10 Cases of Appropriate Technology
    10 Cases of Appropriate Technology - Published June 12, 2010 by xilebat – The goal of Appropriate Technology (AT) is to increase the standard of living for the developing world without condescension, complication, or environmental damage. Typical AT inventions are more labor intensive, require fewer resources, and use low cost or readily available materials wherever possible. Special attention is paid to the social, cultural, and ethical aspects of the communities the technology is intended for. Submitted for your approval are 10 inventions using these principles, and they are every bit as ingenious as anything coming out of Silicon Valley. You will also find several links to charitable organizations distributing these products for little or no cost, should you wish to contribute to their efforts. 10 One Laptop Per Child The developing world may be falling behind when competing for resources, but it hasn’t even started regarding technology. The “One Laptop One Child” project aims to fix this. Its goal is to create a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected computer for children in the third world. Its XO laptop is about the size of a small textbook, with built-in wireless and a screen readable in direct sunlight (for children who school outdoors). The computer is extremely durable, energy efficient, and has a childlike industrial design to discourage gray market trafficking—whip this out at the boardroom and everybody will know who’s NOT getting to use it. XO laptops have already been delivered to children in Afghanistan and East Africa, with additional shipments scheduled for the Palestinian Occupied Territories. More information.

  • Recipes & Cuisine [PDF]
    Ugandan Customs and Cuisine Ugandan cuisine is quite the melting pot, taking culinary influences from the Arabs, British, and especially India. The Indian traders left their mark on the region as they introduced their curries, spice blends, and breads. The food is not typically spicy, but seasoned with tomatoes and onions to create flavorful, pleasing dishes. Their diet is based on a combination of a starch and a “sauce” at each meal. The starch may consist of Ugali (a type of cornmeal paste) or Matooke (mashed plantain), and is always topped with a sauce or stew made of groundnuts (peanuts), vegetables, or meat. Although Uganda is home to the largest fresh water lake in the world, the lake has been over- fished, and fresh fish is very hard to obtain unless you live near to the source. But smoked fish can be found quite readily and is often added to a dish containing meat or beans to add complexity and depth. Chicken, beef, goat and mutton are all part of the diet, although among the rural poor meat would not be eaten every day. Cattle are considered a sign of wealth, and not consumed in the everyday diet. Other commonly found foods include bananas, pineapple, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, cabbage and spinach. Groundnuts are a vital staple and are most often turned into a sauce. Rice is expensive and not typically consumed. Most people, except a few who live in urban centers, produce their own food and generally eat two meals a day, lunch and supper. Breakfast is often a cup of tea or porridge.

  • Internationalization of African Ethnic Cuisine: a Situation Analysis
    Journal of Research in International Business and Management (ISSN: 2251-0028) Vol. 3(2) pp. 66-72, February, 2013 Available online @http://www.interesjournals.org/JRIBM Copyright ©2013 International Research Journals Full Length Research Paper Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine: A situation analysis *1Geoffrey Bakunda and 2Samson Omuudu Otengei ’ *1Department of Marketing and International Business, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. 2Department of Leisure and Hospitality Management, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. Abstract Despite a number of benefits, “African food” is not as widely served in public eating places world wide as many others, a situation reflected in the near-total absence of international literature on African cuisine. As a result, African ethnic cuisine is less internationalized. The paper reports on a case study undertaken in one African country Uganda, to assess international visitors’ exposure to African cuisine and their perceptions of requirements to effectively internationalize African ethnic cuisine. The study confirms that international visitors’ exposure to African ethnic cuisine is low and the level of Internationalization primarily influenced by perceived food quality although other aspects also play a part. The paper identifies managerial and policy implications for promoting Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine . Keywords: Internationalization, African Ethnic Cuisine, Africa, Brand strength, international visitors. INTRODUCTION The level of Internationalization of most African Cuisines 2005; Tamar et al., 2001) suggesting that these are has remained low. African food has remained largely among the most internationalized and internationally “local” and is not as widely served in public eating places popular.
