I've made it to the first step in my journey... staging. There are 48 other volunteers here that will be traveling with me to Uganda. Of those, 24 are in the health sector as I am, and the other 24 are in a new program called agribusiness. We all seem super excited with no reservations of traveling into the great unknown. Well, not the unknown for some... I am actually quite surprised at how many people have already been overseas on volunteer assignments, either through their college, a church, or a non-profit. Four people have already been to Uganda!
We are learning loads and I am on information overload so this post will be very short. I am actually just posting to let everyone know that I am, in fact, on my way. Also, that I was told to not expect internet access for the first three to four weeks. That means I am perfectly fine, I'm safe and happy, just not able to post (though I do plan to keep a hand-writen journal of my first impressions of the country that I can reflect back on in future posts).
Love to all my friends and family. Thanks for your tremendous encouragement and support.
