Characters

Since most of you do not know who any of the people are in my stories I have made up a little section dedicated to all the characters of my stories. As I meet new people and get pictures of them I will put them here.

The Netcorps
Ali Alidina	My roommate, coworker, and fellow frog flusher and lizard herder. Ali comes from Edmonton, Alberta where he was born and raised. His parents immigrated to Canada from Tanzanian so after his 6 months he plans on visiting with his relatives here in Africa.
Murad Hassen	Other than Ali I probably see Murad the most. I usually tend to spend my weekends at his place in Buziga due to its close proximity to the bars! Murad comes from Toronto, Ontario but is originally African. He grew up in Egypt before moving to Canada.
Jamie Breadmore	Jamie the convict, or at least that is what Benedicts first impressions of him were! Jamie is based in Masindi roughly 3 hours north of Kampala. He grew up in both Canada and Australia, but has lived all over. Before coming to Uganda he lived in Toronto.
Isha Tan	I did my Netcorp training in Montreal with Isha. She comes from Toronto, Ontario. She is based in Kihihi which is a very small rural village over 8 hours west of Kampala.
Youth to Youth (Y2Y) Crew
Mike Mohamed	Mike is a crazy fellow, who can pull all nighters without blinking an eye. Mike also has an excellent sense of humor and could always get you laughing. Mike is half African (Ethiopian father). After 4 months here Mike felt he had enough and departed back home to Hull, England. Mike was based in Kampala.
Ruth Oho-Tukunboh	DJ Ruth the Kampala hip-hop superstar. Ruth like mike has an excellent sense of humor, and also like Mike is half African (Nigerian father). She donates her time and DJing services at night to the local clubs. Ruth is an incredible dancer who can dance to pretty much anything. Ruth is based here in Kampala.
Laura Heath	Laura lives just east of Kampala in the Forest in-between Kampala and Jinja. Laura is always very happy and very down to earth.
Leah Kirkman	Leah and Becky, roommates based in Mpigi just south west of Kampala. These two are almost always found together. Leah is a little less vocal of the two, yet has a mean right hook!
Becky Stocks	Becky is the more vocal of the two roommate (Leah and Becky). When you get her and Daisy together they do some mean copycat dancing.
Daisy Clear	Daisy another Y2Y in the Kampala VSO compound is Ruth's roommate. Her dancing style is quite fun to watch and a good laugh at times!
1 - 2 Year Crew
Alastair Watt and partner Ruth (not shown)	Alastair is a doctor working in the Mbarara medical hospital. His partner Ruth was denied a position through VSO so she volunteers her time wherever she can throughout the town and hospital.
John Ellis and partner Kate (not shown)	John is another doctor working in the Mbarara medical hospital. John is a pediatrician. His partner Kate was also denied a position through VSO but was able to find work within the hospital.
Benedict Ambos	Bendict comes from the philippines through VSO's south to south program. He is working in a small bank in the Bushenyi district that gives loans out to small farmers.
