Mzungu: a Notre Dame Student in Uganda Michael Sweikar

In the summer of 2002, Michael Sweikar and another Notre Dame student, Andrew DeBerry, embarked on a journey of volunteer service in Uganda. In this book, Michael describes the transition from being a student at Notre Dame to teaching a class of second grade students at St. Benedict's School in Uganda. The book is filled with journal-like stories that portray teaching in Uganda in an interesting, often amusing, and spiritual way. Michael not only relates his experiences, but he also asks some difficult questions that many volunteers face today when they return from abroad. Organizations serving the people of Uganda will receive profits from the sale of this book. Don't miss the section entitled How You Can Become Involved!
