It’s only 4 days until Lib and I will have both reached Uganda. 5 until we reach Bushikori. At the moment I’m in America, and very ready to leave for Africa. I’ve been working at a Summer Camp in Pennsylvania, which is predominantly for children with wealthy parents who work, or travel (without their children) during the Summer break. So going to work at Bushikori is going to be an enormous change of environment. It was great to work with those kids, but working at Bushikori is going to be life changing, and something which I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to do. I’m not all that sure of what to expect when I arrive, and I want to say that I’m prepared for anything, but I don’t know that I am. I understand that this experience is going to be difficult, rewarding, confronting, sad, happy… It’s going to be filled with emotion.
I’m extremely lucky, because I have my biggest sister Libby meeting me in Kampala, and she is going to be there with me throughout my entire stay at Bushikori. For those of you who don’t know her she is an amazingly strong woman, and I am so thankful that I will have her there for extra strength during this incredible journey.
