The countdown to my return trip to Uganda has begun. I leave the United States on Saturday, June 12 and will be gone for 6 weeks. Preparing this time has been completely different; last year, I was pretty much packed at this point. This year… well stuff is laid out on my guest bed waiting for my perusal.
What am I most looking forward to on my return to Uganda?... squatting over a hole in the ground to relieve myself. I have missed it. I am of course kidding. In all seriousness, I am most looking forward to seeing the Ugandan friends that I met last summer and especially Lydia who visited me in January. It will be a sweet reunion. I am also looking forward to reuniting with my friends Lindsay, Catherine and Amy as well as meeting new Invisible Children teaching friends.

I will be at Keyo Secondary School, which is slightly out of town. I do not know much about it; it is coed with about 850 students. That will be a nice change from an all boys school like last year. I think it will be another boda boda ride, but I will get the final details once I arrive. There will be three of us teaching there.
While not physically ready to leave, I am mentally ready to get out of Columbia. It has been a crazy spring, and I need a break. Stay tuned...
Looking forward to some posts, Ms. Ellis! Hope you made it safely and are getting settled in. Love ya.
