Signing off from Africa

It literally seems only yesterday that I arrived here in Kampala, Uganda not knowing what I was about to see.  However it was exactly 1 week ago which means I only have 2 days left before traveling home.  Tomorrow morning, we are off early from Kampala for a 5 hour drive to Mburo National Park for a mini Safari.  This should be awesome as we are planning to go on a game drive and boat cruise in the park.

I promise to write a few more blogs after returning home to fill everyone in on what we did today and show some highlights of the safari.  I hope everyone has enjoyed reading my blogs.  Although my blogging has taken up most of my spare time at night before going to bed, it will provide me with a record of my tour, which I otherwise would not likely have made.

I must say this trip has been overwhelming because of all the sights I have seen.  In short, Uganda is a beautiful scenic country with very happy people (and lots of them).  Unfortunately, many of the people (several millions of them) live in poverty and do not have access to clean water and sanitation facilities.  It’s really hard to believe until you see it first hand!  In the years ahead, I hope I can make a very small difference and work to promote WaterCan and raise funds.

I leave you with one picture from today.  This is me alongside a small 7 year old boy, named Julius. Julius was one of the many children who attended the final school visit today.
