Jinja Uganda

Hi all!!!

So, I found out last Thursday that I get to go to Jinja, Uganda to Good Shepherd's Fold orphange to serve the kids and the community as a nurse, for one year!!!

The orphange serves around 100 children who live there, as well as along 100 more who come from the community for schooling at Good Shepherd's. The clinic is located in the orphange, and serves the kids, as well as providing care to the villages near by.

I don't know exactly when I'm leaving, but no earlier than October 1 (due to work commitments). The plan is to send me with several other nurses, and we'll join up with the staff at GSF of 50 Ugandan, North American, and Irish workers.

Besides where I'm going-whoo hoo!!!!!!!!-I don't know much else. But it is a relief to have a plan as to where I'm headed. Soon, I will send out letters with more detail and ways you can pray for and support me. Check out the website goodshepherdsfold.org for more info on my placement!

My excitement for this adventure has been renewed-I'm PSYCHED to share it with you :)
