Jambo!
Hello pals,
Just thought I would let ya'll know (for those who don't) that I am heading for the African continent this summer. I'll be hitting up Uganda for three months, doing my Masters research project with a title of "Qualitative Fistula Data Collection Among Ugandan Traditional Birth Attendants." Bada bing, bada boom. Thankfully, I have been blessed by having my trip and stay paid for by a lovely little grant, which makes the trip possible, and enjoyable. I'll be swinging by London (my first trip to Europe!) to visit Laura K. and Heidi K. - any suggestions of what to do in three days?
If ya'll wouldn't mind remembering me in your chats with our Father regarding this trip. Although I'm quite excited, I'm also quite nervous, since I am going by myself, and have never been to Africa before. Uganda is rather safe, compared to other African countries, but...
Love love to all.
