Great first day in Africa. Spent most of the day safe and sound in the hostel. We got a chance to play pool, some card games and enjoy an African rain shower. Also we saw two monkeys who live outside the hostel! Can't wait to get into Kampala.

Yesterday our plans to visit kampala were delayed because of unexpected rain fall. The rain here in Uganda is an intense. Kaan and myself were the first of our group to take a magical picture in the rain(not the smartess idea,but well worth it) will post soon. Anyway my team members are great I enjoy spenting time with all of them.Most of our day yesterday was spent bonding with each other and practicing team building excrises. Today is a big day for us we finally get a chance to explore the city(kampala) wish us luck. P.S Uganda is extremely beautiful,and so rich with culture and Life.

Wow, what a great start to the trip! Yesterday the group relaxed in the Backpackers Inn having group discussions, playing games and setting goals for the trip; it was a lovely way to get over the jet lag of nearly 2 full days of traveling. I've made some great friends so far; there is no doubt this group of students and leaders will become a wonderful Jamii (family in Swahili), I am very excited for the days and months to come! Today we start our adventures into Kampala for a scavenger hunt and traveling through the city, can't wait!!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying this special experience. I understand that it may be warm, but wet just like Oregon. It has been 88-90 here. Lots of sun. Have fun, enjoy yourself, and work hard. This message is for everyone one. Lastly, to 100%Dan Smith I have learned how to use all of our tech stuff without problems.
