The Deal

Hello Everyone! Thank you for visiting the site. The idea of this site is to update anyone who is interested in my adventures in Africa and beyond.

Here's a little background information on my upcoming trip. I leave August 6 and come back in the middle of October. The first two weeks will be spent with a group from Gracepoint Church of God. We will first travel to a Ugandan school. There, we will be helping out in whatever way we can. On the way back to Kampala (Stevenson's headquarters), we will take a little sidetrip and go on a safari. After most of the group from Gracepoint head home, the Hayduk's and I will be making certain trips around southern Uganda. These trips include visiting the clinic I helped work on last year, other clinics, and a few days will be spent in hospitals in Kampala. For the last five weeks I will be headed to a little village in eastern Uganda called Mawanga. The village is very rural, they do not have any plumbing or electricity. Running water can be found at the well. A small clinic has started up there. It will be my main focus of work. Pastor Paul and his family will be my hosts. At the end of the five weeks, I will head back to Kampala and eventually Edmonton.

Here is the clinic in Mawanga that I will be helping at.
