The Adventure 2018!

Guess what???!!! I lucked out!

I'm going to Africa!

Yep! My employers had some vacation pay stashed for me, so I didn't waste time, and bought my tickets! Its a go! I'm going! I can hardly believe it! 

Now that its a 90% chance of me going, I'll let you in on the details!

Where am I going?

I am going to Uganda, in the Pallisa district. One of the safest districts in the county.

What am I doing?

I am going to be working in partnership with a Christian mission in Pallisa, called Amina Christian house. I am going to be a teacher at the primary school! Teaching English, and Sports. The website for the school is (www.pccpuganda.org).

How long am I staying?
 I'm aiming for two months. I may stay longer or shorter depending on how much I enjoy the experience!

So there you have it! I'm super nervous about teaching in a school, but I'm told its not much different then teaching kids skills at summer camp! Sports will be easy to teach, since I've done it before! English.....going to have to work on lesson plans for that! lol. 

I leave on January 14th to London England. I'll be staying in London for a week, so to my friends over there, I would love to see you! Then on the 21st I'm flying out from London to Uganda with a stopover in Dubai! Won't get to explore the city, but I'll get to see it from the air! 

If anyone would like to help support the trip, I will need these items for my class....

- A ball that I can fill with air when I get there.
- Frisbee
- pencils
- map of Canada
- notebooks

For myself...

- water purifier
- power bank for my phone
- flashlight
- cargo pants
- hiking boots....for some reason I wore out my old pair!lol

Just putting this out there, because some people have been asking how they can help. Thanks again to Roland for the camera, and my employers for the travel backpack! Those two items have brought down expenses by a lot!

I know a few of my lovely relatives out there, are not too happy about this trip. Thanks for really caring about my well being! It makes me feel very loved! However, I really feel called to go to Africa! Its been in my heart since I was at least four years old! I'm not going to be satisfied till I go, so I have to do this! I'm fairly certain I will be just fine, but even if I'm not, everything that happens will be God's will. He'll have control, no matter what. 

Love you all, and I'll keep you in the loop!
