So I've started the countdown until I leave: only 47 days
I went shopping for all my supplies yesterday and I keep getting more and more excited. I had the best people helping me with my clothing choices (you know who you are :)) We have to wear long skirts in the villages because of the conservative culture we don't want to be disrespectful to the people. The more we live like them the more they will listen to what we have to say and the easier it will be to help them prevent illness. We do get to bring some "Western" outfits for when we are in the the big cites like Kampala because they are more westerinzed, almost like a city in the US. We also need sport like outfit because guess what I get to do..................... BUNGEE JUMP OVER THE NILE!!! I can't believe it, I am soooo excited!!!
I've also received two out of the four vaccines I need. I got yellow fever and a polio booster. My arm went numb for about 3 hours after but it was okay. Now all I need is Typhoid and Hep A which I will be getting next Tuesday. I also got a prescription for my anti-malarial and another antibiotic for dysentery (just in case).
Everything is coming together and I know the time will go by fast. Right now I just have to finish up this semester. Wish me luck
love you all!!!!
