Notre Dame's President Fr. John Jenkins was in Uganda for a week to initiate Notre Dame's role in the UN Millenium Development village project. Notre Dame will sponsor a village just west of Kampala. The Millenium Development Initiative was started by Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs. You may have heard of his bestselling book, "The End of Poverty." For more on Fr.
