This trip is finally here!

As I am about to embark on what I hope to be one of the most amazing adventures of my life, so many emotions are going through my mind right now. I know I am only going for twenty-two days, but then again, I'm leaving life as I know it for twenty-two days! Although I will miss people here, the majority of my feelings are stress, nervousness, and excitement. I'm stressed that I will forget something. Nervous about traveling and all the people I will meet. However, the excitement for meeting all these wonderful children and spending three weeks on a giant adventure in the game parks of Uganda has by far surpassed any other feelings about this trip.

Our trip leaves Friday afternoon at 5:30. We spend eight or so hours in air toward Belgium and another nine or so hours in air to Uganda. We will arrive in Uganda on Saturday. As far as our plans from there, I'm not 100% sure where they go. I know our primary purpose for going is to work with the Kids League who has developed a sport program for underprivileged children in Kampala and the surrounding area.

As soon as I get there and have internet, I will be sure to post another blog. I want to post as many as possible, but due to internet access, it may or may not be often.

At this point, I am most excited about two things: leaving majority of technology and everyday conveniences behind and meeting all the children. Gosh, this trip is here, it's finally here. Well in four days anyway. I can't believe it. The past few months have flown by. I look forward to seeing everyone when I return in late June, but in the meantime, please keep me and my fellow students in your thoughts and prayers as we approach this once in a lifetime experience.



I would also like to thank "Play It Again Sports" in Kennesaw, GA for donating sport equipment to the trip.
