Environmental engineering/Humanitarian minor 4th year

Program: Drought Resistance Uganda (DRU)

Supervisor: Dr Andrew Dansie

I went into Uganda knowing very little about our partners and the country, carrying only my newly found passion for humanitarian engineering. Yet after that trip, it felt like all the memories, friendships, and lessons couldn’t possibly have come from just a fortnight, and they’re ones I’ll cherish for a lifetime. I think what was really beautiful was that everyone on the trip, including our friends in-country, was driven by a shared purpose to try and make a positive difference, which made our trip all about sharing knowledge and experiences across borders.
