Change is a profound thing. It is difficult, yet beautiful. It is one of the greatest things a person can do. It’s a legacy, passed from person to person, generation to generation.

The Ayin Project taught me to be excited for change, personal growth and improvement. Generally, I don’t like change. I like to have a routine. I like knowing what to expect and possible outcomes. I like familiar environments and tastes and smells. If something changes, I’m thrown out of whack and pushed from my comfort zone. The Ayin Project taught me that this was okay. That it was necessary.

Widespread knowledge of WASH is one of TAP Uganda team’s most important goals. The team is working to figure out what people already know, and how they may educate people further. Community collaboration, and the sharing of knowledge, makes individuals “part of the solution to their own problem.”
