Donations and Support

Just like any volunteer trip we are always in need of support. If you are interested in supporting me or the Come, Lets Dance program there are several ways you can help! 

1. The biggest and easiest support is just keeping our group on your heart and mind while we are traveling and praying for all that we are doing and for our safety.

2. Donations!! There are so many things that the people of Uganda are in need of. Most of what I will be taking with me will be donations for the local people. We are looking for things such as:    

• Used Laptop Computers
• School Supplies: Black shoes, paper, notebooks, folders, binders, pens/pencils, ect.
• Medical Supplies: Vitamins, Cough Meds, Cotton/Gauze, ointments, painkillers, fever reducers, gloves, medical tape, ect.
• TOL Sew & Craft Shop Supplies: Elmers Glue, quality scissors
• Toiletries: Bar soaps, deodorants, sanitary pads, toothpaste/brush, Vaseline
• Office Supplies: Paper, tape, envelopes, Duct tape, calculators
• Tools for Projects: Scrub Brushes, different size screws, hammers, etc.
• Any Disinfectant, RAID spray, Clorox Wipes
• Hefty Candles
• Old Silverware
• Table Clothes - plastic or cloth

3. Financial support is also always greatly appreciated no matter the amount. Come, Let's Dance has a Growth and Sustainability or G.A.S. program and is used to further the current projects that are supported though our program. Any donations would help in my efforts to supporting the program. 

(All donations are tax deductible as for Come, Lets Dance is a registered Non-Profit Organization)

If you are interested in supporting in any way please let me know as for it would be greatly appreciate!

Shot, Shot, Plane Ticket

     Got my immunizations taken care of today. I had most of my shots taken care of already from our Peru trip a few years ago and college requirements but I still had to get two (Hep A and Yellow Fever). It was less than what I originally though I would have to get so if you look at it that way it was a good day. I usually don't mind getting shots and am fine afterwards but today was a little harder for some reason. Almost passed out  when I was about to leave but the Dr. was able to get me back to lay down for a little and I was all better.  Before I go I will also have to take pills for Typhoid and then while I am there will have to be on Malaria pills. 
    I also purchased my plane ticket this week. So no backing out now! Not that that was even a thought in my mind. It's just more exciting knowing though that it really is official!! Our location that we will be in in Uganda is Nansana. Only 75 more days until I depart and I am only getting more and more antsy to depart. This is going to be such an amazing experience that I am so lucky to take part on!
