I have officially booked my flights to Uganda! I'm leaving on August 3rd for Oakland, where I will have a week of training. Then it's on to Kampala!
I'll keep you all posted as more developments come in.

Pre-Trip Status and Kampala Bombing
Hey guys,
I would like to start out by thanking everyone who has given me support so far for my volunteer intern position with Soccer Without Borders. I am getting closer to my goal, but I still have a ways to go. Anything else that you can give will be greatly appreciated! Again, you can click on the link to the right if you would like to donate. It is really easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes!
It's officially crunch time. I'm working at getting my flights booked still, it's just a matter of having the funding for it at this point. I'm also lined up for getting my shots'n'stuff. I am still waiting to find out more of the details of what the actual work will consist of while I'm in Uganda, so I will keep everyone posted as it comes in.
Changing gears a bit, some of you may know there was a terrorist attack in Kampala, Uganda this past Sunday during the World Cup Final. A Somalian Islamic Extremist group has taken credit for the twin-bombings. Here is a link to an article about the attacks if you want to read more: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/africa/10602791.stm. Rest assured that no one from SWB has been effected, and I still fully intend on going next month. The attacks happened in downtown Kampala, and I will be living 45 miles outside of the city.
Thanks for your readership! And your support!
