Preparing to go

My arm is sore from all the injections I had to have to protect me when I go and I had to start taking my anti - malaria tablets a few days ago - yuck. I hope I don't get bitten by mosquitos. I am so excited but a bit scared too. We are flying today from Cardiff airport and can you believe it is going to take 26 hours to get there! I am glad I am going with Sally and the other engineers who are going to take care of me. We are going to be working when we are there, helping at the new medical centre in Soroti. We are also going to visit an orphanage that was recently built and also a grinding mill that is being run by the widows co-operative. I can't wait to make friends with the children. We are going for two weeks and at the end of the trip we are going on a mini safari and will see lions and elephants and giraffes and rhinos. That is going to be absolutely brilliant. I am already missing my class mates at Glenboi School and Mrs Jones but can't wait to write in my blog to tell them of my latest news. I hope one of these engineers can get me a good internet connection to download my blog. Speak soon. Love from Barnaby Bear
