As usual, I’m a tid bit behind on my blogging. Took awhile to get acquainted to the whole system here but we’re good to go. I’m leaving my house in T-minus 7 hours to Columbus and practically all packed up. To say I’m excited that departure day is finally here is a HUGE understatement. Can’t wait to be there! I’m really looking forward to meeting Bob of GHNU (Global Health Network Uganda) and actually obtaining some training and see what a typical day to day routine of work entails. I’m extremely excited to be immersed in a completely different continent, culture, society, etc away from all the conveniences of living in the US for SIX weeks. I of course, will miss certain things for instance drinking water from any tap. But I love getting out of my comfort zone and taking on new things so I’m really looking forward to every aspect of this trip. I have nothing but the highest hopes and no matter how big wish we can make a lasting positive impact in Oyam. Last thing on my mind right about now is I really hope no one loses their luggage, gets troubles in any airports, has to pay overages, or we have any close time crunches to make flights! Till next time,
Ben
When I was in Peru, someone told us it was OK to drink from a specific tap. It turned it out we were misinformed. Everyone was fine, but I’d like to doubly encourage you not to drink any water that doesn’t come with a seal! Stay healthy!
