T-1 hour and 15 minutes!

Good morning everyone! It is 4:45 AM and I am finishing my laundry for Uganda...living in a house with 60 people makes it hard to get laundry done in a timely manner. Hopefully my clothes are dry before 6:00 AM, I still have a load to finish washing and then drying *fingers crossed.* I am still in disbelief that I am going to Uganda. People keep asking me if I am excited, and I don't really know how to respond. I am excited, deep down inside! Right now I am just tired, and ready for that uncomfortable plane seat so I can get some sleep. I have been up for 23 hours now, and would like to get some sleep in!

We worked a long day in the office today. It was fun getting to see everyone one last time before we left for Uganda, and the open road. Kenny, one of the people who works in the office, got someone to donate pizza for the whole office and lunch. It was awesome.

So, about the trip. We honestly have not been told much about it. I know we might do all the things I listed before, but that is not guaranteed. I have no idea what to expect, which I suppose is good in the end. I am really looking forward to seeing my sister school (Lacor Secondary School) and meeting the students that attend the school. I know it is going to be amazing. The school was destroyed in 1997 (I think) by an LRA attack where a lot of children were abducted, and many others killed. Since then, kids stopped going to school because they were so afraid of being abducted. Now, because Invisible Children has been rebuilding the school site, and the LRA has moved out of Northern Uganda the kids are going back to school, in a safe and comfortable environment. I love that Invisible Children believes in investing deep rather than wide. This school is going to be a strong, lasting site where students can be educated her for generations. Instead of building an inexpensive building that may not be standing in five years, they have invested in well constructed, solid buildings. Sustainable relief at work.

Well, I am nearing the last hour and I should go and get my things together. I don't know when I will blog again because I am not sure about internet access in Uganda, but I will do my best to send a hello if I can.
