First week in AFRICA!

Well this is about our first week being in Africa so far and i am really loving it, the people, the culture, the land, its all so beautiful. It had been very humbling to be here, the people are all so grateful and selfless. They are so talented and use their talents everyday, its amazing! This past week we have been able to go to the zoo, the beach, and the Nile river. At the zoo we fed the giraffes, pet a rhino, played with and got attacked by monkeys, and a crane bird. I like my team here so far, it hasnt been very long but we all get along pretty great and are all quite comfortable with each other. We started a project this past week as well, we started making a mural in st john's secondary school outside of mbale and played with the children in the town too, they LOVED it, but so did we. :) I am so grateful for this oportunity and experience here and cant wait for the next three months and what it has in store!
