Round 2: Here we go!!
I'm so excited for my return trip to Jinja, Uganda to work at Amani Baby Cottage! Although it will be bittersweet to leave the U.S. again, I'm ready to return as a full time volunteer for another 3 months starting on December 31st. (Yes, that's New Year's Eve and yes, I will miss all the festivities but it's about $400 cheaper to travel on this day than normal wahoo!)
First, it's off to Italy with my travel buddy and great volunteer friend, Kate. We met in Uganda last year so it'll be super fun venturing off into Italy for a few days before heading to Uganda. As two gluten intolerant girls, it should be an exciting adventure... and hopefully not starve with pasta and pizza all around us! We'll be going to Rome, Venice, and Florence:) If there's anything we MUST see while we're there, please let me know!
Next, we'll be visiting some great volunteer friends in Soroti, Uganda for about a week and help them with their ministry. Their ministry is called Yesu Asobola Ministries and they bring care, education, and Christ to the children of Uganda. It'll be such a fruitful week serving next to my sisters in Christ in the same country but in a totally different village. It's been a year already since I've seen my volunteer friends and I'm so excited to be reunited with some of them once again. (Too bad it's not ALL of us).
Finally, we'll make our way to Amani Baby Cottage where I'll serve the remaining 3 months with the wonderful 60+ children I fell in love with last year. I know it'll be different from the last time I was there since some of these kids have found new homes and others have been reunited with their families. New comers have joined the Amani family since the last time I was there too. It should be a new adventure mixed with some great memories from the last time and I ask that you please pray for me, my travel buddy, and anyone else going on a mission trip soon!
If you'd still like to donate for my Uganda expenses (rent, plane ticket, food, treats for the kids, etc.) please go to the link on this blog. Thanks for all of your support!
