Ok. I finally shceduled my shots. I have to get 5 shots and take malaria pills. I'm going next Tuesday and I'm a little nervous about how I'm going to feel afterward, I use my arms a lot and i like them to be pain free!
I realize that I didn't give a lot of detail last time. Here are the basics:
Fly to New York on June 20th. New York to Dubai on the 21st. Dubai to Entebbe on the 22nd. Then to Kampala. (the capital of Uganda) We stay there for a few days at the Backpackers Hostel. ( http://www.backpackers.co.ug/)
We then travel up North to Gulu, which is where we will be teaching. There are about 25 of us teaching. We will be split up between 10 different schools and three different dwellings. Most have generators, and pit latrines... the one I'm sceduled to stay at has a bore-hole shower and a generator in the front room. The assignments could change, but I've been placed at Pabbo School. (http://s4s.invisiblechildren.com/school/pabbo-secondary-school) Sorry, I'm not sure how to add links yet!
We live and teach up north until the last week-ish. I think 4 days. We will take a day safari to Murcheson Falls (you can see pics on the backpackers website) and a river rafting trip down the Albert Nile. Then we reverse our trip back thorough Kampala, Entebbe, Dubai and New York. I land in New York on the 31st and then back to lovely San Diego!
Ok, peeps. Hope that was enough for tonight. It's late and I've got to get to bed, tomorrow I'm playing a penguin in the talent show and I need my beauty sleep!
Wish me luck! Jo
