Help for immigrating and starting over abroad in Uganda
From people who came through it
“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. The first winter. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”

Delivery driver in Derby · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“You will rehearse conversations that other people do not think twice about. That is okay. You will hear your accent in recordings and cringe. That is okay too. The thing I wish I had known is that the fear gets smaller not because you 'get over it' but because you do the thing anyway, over and over, until your body stops expecting the worst. Find one person who gets it. For me it was Mason. And go dancing. Your body remembers how to be happy even when your head is busy worrying.”
Amber Ferry · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my degree not recognised like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.”
