Many people have asked me "what do you have left to do before you leave?".  I have gotten a ton of stuff done, but still need to get my meds for malaria prevention, traveler's "sickness" and some other emergency medication.  A friend last night asked me if I need to pack things like shampoo.  I was stumped.  Clearly, I haven't thought through everything.  Today, I will work on my packing list.  The other big work that needs to be done is building out the education component of the Rwanda projects, which I am responsible for.  We have a group of 7 going to Rwanda to take on the sustainability projects at the girls' orphanage and education center.  Each person is taking the lead on some aspect of the projects.  I have been impressed with each person's commitment and follow through on their parts.  We meet weekly on a conference call and discuss the project details, timelines and key information about visas, immunizations, transportation, places to sleep, etc.  I am learning so much!  


Now if I could just figure out how to add photos to this blog to make it a bit more interesting...
