Up, Up, and Away!

It's here! At 6 pm today, I board a plane and surrender to the unknown! Days like this encompass a myriad of emotions, primarily excitement and stress. Going to Uganda on humanitarian service is something that I'm making happen, it's not just happening to me. Accomplishing something of this magnitude is incredibly rewarding, and it never could happen without all the people who love and support me.

Please email me - it might take a day or two to return a note, but I will have access to the internet occasionally.

If anyone needs to reach me, please call 011-256-774-270-209 . That's a cell phone number that is available for my use. But make sure to keep in mind that they are 8 hours ahead of EST so please don't call too late (best time to call is mid-morning here).

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to all everyone of you! I've had so many supportive and very generous people influence this decision. Because of your giving to me, in any kind of way, I am able to give to the people of Uganda.

Please check my blog often. I'll try to update it as much as possible.

Love you all!

Charlee

Good lucky Charlee. I'm excited to hear about all your adventures. You are going to love it, the people are amazing and you will never look at things the same way. And again I definitely suggest the river rafting and murcheson falls.
