| July 31, 2010 Elliot Harmon and Sarah Yergeau, the two new Union College Minerva fellows selected for an internship with Engeye, arrived in Uganda on July 21, 2010 and travelled to Engeye Clinic on July 24. The two will be working with one of Engeye's best translators, Hudson Nsubuga, to learn some basic Luganda. Sarah and Elliot are also beginning to make plans for what projects they will tackle while in Ddegeya. The pair is already beginning to make a difference by helping in the pharmacy, assisting staff with patient records and they are getting involved with the Design Team's work so they can act as liaison's when the Design Team leaves Ddegeya and continues its work in the United States and Canada. Sarah and Elliot plan on continuing the familiar morning program after the UIC Medical Mission (August 9 - August 23) departs. They will also help keep us updated on clinic happenings with stories and pictures that will be posted on our blog.
