Thank you Philista<br />
Written by Arezou Nazary<br />
Our Global Health experience would not be remotely as special<br />
or memorable without a very special young lady named Philista.<br />
Philista is the young woman who helped guide our stay at<br />
Naggalama hospital in Uganda. She runs the guest house for all<br />
visitors who pass by. Anything we wanted to learn, see, do, eat,<br />
Philista was there to help make it a reality. Everyday was a new<br />
excursion with her.<br />
Philista’s voracious appetite to explore and learn new things was infectious and made our<br />
exploration of Uganda one hilarious roller coaster ride we cherish. She didn’t know how to swim<br />
yet took the leap to go rafting on the Nile with us! Weekly grocery runs became mini concerts as<br />
we played music and sang on the back of boda bodas (motorcycles) under the african sky. She<br />
protected and guided us as we made our shopping trips for the Go Fund Me project, making<br />
sure her muzungus got value for their buck.<br />

Among the Letters<br />
When we felt weak from a long day in OR or wards, she would have our favorite snacks and<br />
foods ready. When we were sad over the patient we lost and tears streamed down our faces,<br />
she somehow knew exactly what to say to make us start laughing.<br />
After countless hours of getting to know just<br />
each other’s worlds, hopes and dreams, we<br />
knew without a doubt Philista is meant to travel<br />
and explore the world. She opened up about<br />
her dreams, one of which is to continue her<br />
education and finish college majoring in Tourism.<br />
Philista is now taking the steps to sign up and<br />
continue her education which ultimately would<br />
allow her to apply for her dream job, an airline<br />
stewardess, and make her dreams of seeing the<br />
world a reality. In our last week, we started the<br />
process of making sure Philista got her passport<br />
and it is indeed in the works!<br />
