Uganda do what?!

Uganda.  That is the country assigned to me for 27 months starting this November.  I have accepted and there is no going back.  Poverty, HIV/AIDS epidemic, malaria, heat, limited electricity, mosquitos, and no sewage system are just some issues that I'll be running into.  

I have accepted that I'll be alone and will be giving more than receiving of worldly things.  However, the payment that I'll be receiving is in smiles, hugs, blessings, and hopefully lessons to last a lifetime.

I am in the process of getting logistics in order before I depart.  I expect this process to last 2 months and once that's done I can dedicate my time to saying my "see ya later's."  

Wish me luck. :)
