Friday, May 27th: Today we fly from Dallas to Newark, then change planes and travel overnight from Newark to London. Once we reach London, we will wait most of the day at Heathrow for our overnight flight to Entebbe Uganda.
So as I already stated in part 1, this adventure really began when Paul and I decided that we would go to Uganda to do site prep for a new group of clinics. As Paul learned about the project in Uganda, the idea was hatched that he could also get involved as part of his senior project at school.
The senior project is intended to teach the boys about the value of community involvement. Although only a sophomore, the sheer size and time requirement of the project requires that he start a few years early. Paul put together a presentation about ITW and presented the idea to his form master and then his senior thesis advisor. It is Paul’s job to do the planning, the organization, budgeting, documentation, and even some fund raising to deploy the ITW paradigm in three clinics which refer to the Bwindi Hospital. With approval from his form master (Fr. Paul) and thesis advisor (Fr. Gregory), the project planning began months ago. For the last few weeks, Paul has been trying to juggle school work and finals with time to create documents and to plan for this trip. (the pic is of Paul at the airport – relieved having finished his finals just the day before).
