Three Weeks

I can't believe I leave in only three week! Things are finally starting to come together. My visa is being processed as I type, my shots are all taken care of, I'm getting so close (only about $100 to go) to the $2200 I need to contribute to the program cost (which is great, because it needs to be in the mail on Monday!). Beyond that I need to raise $140 for the cost of my visa, as well as about $200 for medical costs. I'm slowly figuring out what I need to bring with me, though packing alone will be an adventure!

Sorry to those of you who visited the site early yesterday afternoon. It was in limbo for a couple of hours while I tried to find a template that would work. It seems that the HTML skills I learned in 9th grade tech education are a bit rusty. I am aware, as my brother so kindly informed me, that my site "does not look like Africa." It was unfortunate that I couldn't get a layout that is a bit more fitting, but a clean looking, functional layout was all I could hope for yesterday.

There is not much else new news, but over the next week I'll be posting a lot of information about Sierra Leone and the organizations I'm working with- so keep your eyes pealed.
