Preparations

I will have more limited internet access while in Africa, so I thought I'd set up my blog on my last day in the States. For those of you who are anxious to hear more and are impatient with the long interludes between posts (or conversely are bored by my witless and rambling posts and are looking for something else to do), I humbly suggest the following:


Learn more about the organization I'm working with in Uganda:
http://www.comeletsdance.org/


Learn more about the Child Rescue Center in Sierra Leone:
http://www.childrescuecenter.org/


Watch a Slide Show about Come Let's Dance's work in Nansana:

Watch an original short film David Benjamin, the first boy I ever met from Nansana:

Make Goodsearch your favorite search engine. Every time you search, Goodsearch will give one penny to Come Let's Dance (or another charity close to your heart, of course you will be closer to my heart if you pick CLD). Enter "Come Let's Dance" under "Who do you Goodsearch for?" and click verify, the site should remember your charity after you use it a couple times. In addition, everytime you buy from amazon.com, half.com, bestbuy, target, ebay, etc. Goodsearch will donate a percentage of your purchase to your chosen charity. Check it out:

P.S. I'll love you even if you don't pick Come Let's Dance as your Goodsearch charity, I was trying to be witty (in case you missed it).
