Preparing to Leave

Today's my last day at work. Tomorrow I move out of my apartment. Sunday, August 2 I fly home to Madison to spend time with my family. Tuesday, August 4 I fly to Philadelphia for staging, and Wednesday the 5th I fly to Uganda. I'll immediately start an intensive 10 week training course on language, culture, and technical aspects of my work over the next 27 months. I'll be staying with a host family during training, which will hopefully ease my transition into life in Uganda. After training, I'll be a water and sanitation volunteer - and that's all I know so far. I don't know where I'll be posted, or who I'll be working with, or what exactly I'll be doing, but I'm excited to get to work applying my education and passions in the lives of the Ugandan people. I'll keep everyone updated as often as I can, and I hope you'll be in touch as well. See the sidebar for ways you can contact me. Thanks everyone!
