It’s the
start of our 24-hour window pre-flight, and Debra and I wanted to share our
itinerary with you.
We are
southern girls – Debra hales from the shores of the beautiful coastal waters of
the southeast, whereas I am a “from the heart of Texas” native Texan – meeting
in New York tomorrow to set off for Central Africa.
From New
York we fly to Belgium with an overnight layover in Brussels, then on to the
capital city of Kinshasa, DRC. We will be in the Congo from February 3rd
through the morning of February 7th.
Our
arrival in Uganda is via Kenya – we will be flying to Uganda’s capital of
Kampala through Nairobi. We reach Kampala late on February 7th
and will be in country through February 12th. We will
touchdown to our southern roots and arrive home late February 14th changed
forever.
Uganda and The Democratic Republic of the Congo are
destinations popular for gorilla tracking safaris. For us, our time
will be invested with the children, the children orphaned by death, disease,
civil conflict, and poverty who desire to have a family, a family to call their
own and a loving home where they belong. Our work in country will
be in support of our in country teams in DRC, Uganda and Ghana as well. We are most fortunate that our EAC in country Ghana representative will be
joining us for our Uganda leg of the trip.
Make a date to check in with us regularly as we blog our
way across Central Africa and update you on our journey.
Blessings, always,
Debra & Robin
