New Englander to New Traveler

Over the past 4 years I have spent the majority of my efforts and time concentrated on educating my community and raising funds for Eastern Africa. I have seen first hand, that individuals can truly make a difference in this world. For summer 2010, I will be volunteering in Uganda bringing fresh water to village communities and aiding local schools. I hope that you will follow me on my journey to have a mind-expanding, life blowing experience.

For those who have made this trip Possible

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This blog is for YOU: to get a first hand look on how your donation(s) are making a difference and reshaping lives.

The Time Has Come

And here it is!

It is 1:46 p.m. on Monday June 21, and in just about an hour I leave with Brendan and Evan to board our 7 p.m. flight! We will be arriving in Uganda on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

The past few days have been filled with mixed emotion and some of the strangest goodbyes I have ever said in my life. For some strange reason, every time I hug a friend or a loved one goodbye it feels like I won't be seeing them for a long time, when in fact it will only be a short 2 months before I return home. Life is all about building and forming new relationships and bonds with those around you. It breaks my heart to have to leave all those behind, but I have never been more excited to travel to a new place and to establish new meaningful relationships.

I know that I would not be where I am today without the people in my life.

Thank you - you know who you are.

B Funk, signing out.

I will post once we are in Uganda, and then the journey begins!
