One week to go

Well it's one week and counting, by this time next week I'll be in the air from Heathrow and on my way to Uganda. I'm starting to feel both nervous and excited at the same time. 

I am off to Mbale in Uganda for an 8 week palcment with the Salem Brotherhood http://www.saleminternational.org/ . which is a non government organisation. In Mbale they run a hospital, nurse training school, outreach healthcare and a childrens home (more on that when I get there). My remit is to help to improve standards of healthcare delivery.  
This is where I believe I will be staying http://www.salem-mbale.com/(the guest house). A bit different to south wales but I'm looking forward to the cultural experience (and a few creepy crawlies along the way).

Well just about getting the hang of this blog business. The next one should be a bit easier.

Hope you enjoy following my adventure.
