Jim has asked us to share pre-trip feelings.

I can say that I immensely excited to be going with 9 others whom have yet to have any experience of Uganda. But there is a part of me that is anxious of what lies ahead.

Having been there in 2008, I know that the experience was so intense and emotionally draining, yet positively life changing. On thinking about how lucky I am to be returning to Uganda and to meet up with friends and other peoples there, I am reminded of the lack of opportunities that people my age living in Uganda are denied. It reminds me of the gross inequalities that exists between peoples from different parts of the world and any feeling of anxiety immediately vanishes because I get the priviledge to meet so many friendly and generous people and see so many wonderful things. When I write a passage on my return, I can assure you that my experiences will shine through in my writings.
