well it's nearly time to go, can't believe this time next week I will be in Uganda, and will have had my eyes opened up to the situation out there.
Starting to think about how I live my life and how much I take for granted. Just this morning I got up, went to the loo, washed my hands, made a cup of tea, had a shower and brushed my teeth before putting some clothes washing in. boring, mundane activities for me, but something that thousands, maybe millions of people pray they could do every day.
Starting to get really nervous about going now, I have packed, and repacked, and I am sure there is something I have forgotten! typical me, still got a few bits and bobs to pick up.
Some of the group have been emailing, apparently it is raining and very humid so really not sure what we all need to take! I've struck up a bit of friendship with a lady called Caroline who works for Anglian Water, she has been great, and we have even organised to pack a few things between us (she's taking hair straighteners, I'm taking a hair dryer!), well us girls still need the odd luxury! Sure by the end of it I won't care what my hair looks like mind you! If anyone does have any packing tips I'd love to hear them.
Some of the guys at work have been talking about ways we can raise money when I get back, which I am really pleased about. I am really determined that when I get back I am going to try and get everyone on board! Anyone with any fundraising ideas please let me know.
I will try and update this before I go, if not I will speak to you when I get there!!!!!!
