Hey Everyone,
We've had a great East Africa tour, and learned a ton here in Jinja. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we were guided by some of the Ugandans who work with Kibo Work into the village to observe their community development projects in villages 2-4 hours away from Jinja. This past Thursday we went to an island in the Nile River to celebrate Thanksgiving and spend some time slack-lining, swimming, and playing ultimate Frisbee. We spent all day yesterday on the Nile, rafting a series of 8 rapids, and really enjoyed doing that with the entire group.
Today is our last day in Uganda. We're heading to our last village church this morning, after which we'll be heading out toward a restaurant by the airport. We'll hang out there for a good part of the afternoon before going into the airport, checking in, and heading back stateside!
I will try to update the HIZ twitter feed as we travel with any updates. If you haven't already, you should get our travel itinerary from your son or daughter. If all goes well with our two connections, we should get in to Memphis at 4:40pm, and Jeremy Sivia will be there to pick us up with the Harding bus.
Looking forward to being back and seeing everyone. We can't wait to share some of what God has been doing in our lives and also to hear what God has been doing in the lives of our friends and family in the states.
Grace and peace and see you soon,
Jeremy Daggett
HIZ 2012 Field Director
