Who...What...When...Where...

Just thought I'd give a little background about the program I'm going with and what I will be doing. I'm going with a group called HELP International in Provo. They have a really neat program because you can design and decide what projects you want to work on. Our group will be doing every kind of service you can think of from volunteering in orphanages and schools to business training, Public Health projects, construction projects, gardening, working with women's groups, setting up an eye clinic to do eye screenings and cataract surgeries, teaching about nutrition, physical therapy, recreational therapy... etc. I'm most excited to help in the orphanages and schools, do physical therapy with disabled children, and build adobe stoves. I hope to be able to do a little bit of everything though! There are about 25 volunteers in my group, the Lugazi group, and another 25 volunteers in the Mukono group. Lugazi and Mukono are two villages about 30 min away from each other so I'm sure we will be getting together occasionally. I will be in Uganda May 5-July 26, with a little stop through Paris and London on the way home! I think that about sums it up!
