Weather...
Yep its decided = i'm pretty much decided that I prefer being cold to being hot. It's soooo hot outside, which is fine, but i'm far more enjoying the coolness of my flat. And when I walked into the wee tesco down the road earlier to get stamps it was a beautiful feeling walking into the aircon.

I wonder how on earth I'm going to survive in Uganda where something like aircon will def not exist. I know Jen's told me before that you do actually acclimatise... thats a gd thing I suppose... altho I do not think that I am a normal person when it comes to being able to cope with heat. heh.

Anyway - we're getting there (slowly) with getting things sorted for going away. Met some of the group of 4 that are coming with us from Duncancraig High School on Tuesday night, so that's something, and at long last i've managed to get around to sorting out my travel Insurance... Have even managed to get some bits 'n bobs clothes-wise which is gd... Now i have to find a way of asking my bank for £200 of VERY good condition BANK OF ENGLAND notes... Apparently thats what you use to exchange your money in Uganda... also need to get me some Euros - perhaps I can nick some off of dad seeing as I gave him 30 Euros after I got back from Corfu a couple of years back... LOL

oh yeh, and insect repellant - deet spray apparently - can't decide whether I should get the 60ml or 120ml bottle tho? any takers? Can get that off of amazon tho, so no big deal there.

Passport away to get visa at the moment - so thats fine...

My sister's getting me my Malarone (Anti-malarials)

hmmm. Can't think of what else I need to do... it is getting crazily close tho.. 33 days - eeeeeeeep.

LUWERO Uganda...
Well i haven't really talked about this properly on here yet...

But in July... the first 2 full weeks, I'm traveling to Uganda with a group of senior Girls Brigade and Boys Brigade young people... I've been pondering the possibility of this since about September/October when the BB captain at my church asked me if I would consider going along as he had wanted to see if any of the girls from the GB were wanting to go along this time.

Jimmy (BB Captain) took a group of 4 senior BB boys 2 years ago


but, he had wanted to give the opportunity for some girls to get to go too, which is always exciting... I had kinda hoped that I would get the opportunity to go to Uganda some time, because Gabriel is doing amazing things out there...

I first met Gabriel when I was in my first year at ICC back in 2003/2004. He was just starting off with the project back then... and if memory serves he was back in the UK trying to raise funds to buy the plot of land where the project was going to be based.

I feel i should probably explain what the project is... Basically Luwero Community Ministries consists of a 5-fold vision. Firstly a church, then a farm, a Primary school (which currently has around 300 pupils, there are hopes for a secondary school also), a health clinic (which will hopefully be up and going by the time we're they're in July) and an Orphanage. See here for more info... http://luwerocommunityministries.com/

But the mission has all started now for me... today i sit here with two rather sore arms thanks to the first lot of injections yesterday. heh. More next week....

but i guess I should get on... I'm sure i'll tell you all more about this as time goes on =)
