Arrived wed. night Ugandan time 8:15. After 24 hours of traveling I was completely exhausted. I was able to meet up with about ten of my group members in Amsterdam so that was reassuring as we flew together to Entebbe.
It is wonderful here. Incredibly laid back and never busy. My group members are wonderful and I cannot wait to explore Uganda! I think tomorrow night we will be able to leave the hotel on our own. We are planning to go to a concert by a guy we met on the plane- That should be fun. Until then- we are driving around in vans, doing orientation, and eating wonderful (weird) but wonderful food.
Praise God for the safe arrival and more excitement to come!
God Bless

Preparation for the Trip
I have been preparing for June 2nd when I will be flying off to Kampala, Uganda. I have been overloaded with reading about the on- going civil war in Uganda and the Genocide in Rwanda in 1994. I will be studying these two conflicts in depth while I am over in Africa. It will be an emotionally draining time as the topics are very tragic. Yet, I am excited to learn and gain new perspective as I travel to a new part of the world!
