So glad! Tash--so glad to hear in your words all that you've been seeing and doing. I can see the colors, smell the road, and feel the sun in your words!!! Have a safe trip to Zanzibar and a fantastic time on Safari!
Oh, and Brian Stout stopped by the office, seems that you'll be having company in DC, tall company!!
I'll be heading to NY for forth of July, can't wait to chill on my parents couch.
best, Jessica
Another fine entry Natasha -I'm glad things are working out well. It all sounds very interesting! I'm off to Russia in a few days so perhaps I'll have some stories fro you then. Cheers!
I am following the blog Just want you to know Iam following your adventure.I t sounds so interesting and everone is friendly and including you in all activites. I will live vicariously through you. Have fun and keep journaling.
Congrats Hope your stay there goes well! Africa is pricey (unlike Asia) as our lodging was most expensive there then any other area on our around the world trip. I assume most Africans don't travel much so the prices are for tourists, processed food is expensive but fruit etc. at markets are very reasonable (accd to my experience in Kenya and Tanzania). Seems like you're going to get a real understanding of the country. Take Care, -Pam
Glad you made it safe & sound It was disorienting, in a pleasant way, for Brooke to tell us that you'd already made it to Uganda. I listen for your voice on the other side of the world, and it doesn't seem possible that you're on the other side of the world. I can't wait to learn more from your observations and experiences, Natasha. Best wishes--
i heard clicking in the halls...
i heard clicking in the halls but it was sophia.
i'm so excited peering into this little bitty ugandan map and trying to spot kampala, seeing lake victoria. thinking about all those little shops open late at night.
i'm so glad you made it safely!
peace,

Hey! I'm so glad you've landed safe and sound! I was thinking of you all weekend, hoping your journey was smooth. I spent yesterday at the Arboretum for Lilac Sunday and thought how much you would have liked to be there, strolling around and having a picnic amidst all the people and flowers.
Anyway, I'm so happy for you, keep on writing!

I'm going to Uganda for three months to do some volunteer work a bit of traveling. First I will volunteer with the IRCU (Inter-Religious Council of Uganda) in Kampala on peace-building and then I will volunteer at FDNC (the Foundation for Development of Need Communities--fdncuganda.org) an ngo in Mbale that does healthcare and vocational training work.... full info
