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!

The Start of Something Great
Welcome any and all readers!
As most of you know, I am going to Ndejje, Uganda until next June to work with an non-profit called Soccer Without Borders. This blog will be one way that I will document my time there. I will be posting anything from updates on the program's status, to personal experiences, to player profiles straight from the pitch.
Since SWB is a non-profit organization, I won't have any sort of income while I'm there. That means that I need to raise quite a bit of money to cover basic living costs for 10 months abroad. Anything that you can donate is greatly appreciated and will help give marginalized youth an opportunity to develop leadership and social skills while providing them with a structured team experience. The easiest way to donate is by clicking on the link on the right-hand side of the blog. If you would rather donate by check, please send it to:
2149 Byron St.
Berkeley, CA 94702
Be sure to note that you are contributing on my behalf. Also, your donation IS tax-deductible!
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your time. I hope that you will follow me on here. For more information on Soccer Without Borders, please go to www.soccerwithoutborders.org.
Til next time.
