...I am strangely inept. There's a Powerpoint floating around in cyberspace that talks about the speed of change in today's society. I don't think I've kept up.
When I was just viewing this blog, I noticed the tiny little screwdriver and hammer on the left hand side. Sitting a ways back from the computer, they look like little dragonflies. This is ironic, as I've just been reading the blog of friends in Africa and they speak of unspeakably big bugs that will soon be buzzing around my head too. So, for amusement's sake, cross your eyes when you look at the tools and imagine that they are ginormous bugs.
So, anyway, you're joining us on the journey! Well, to start, we've encountered the humanly impossible: to raise over $10,000 in three weeks. Good thing we've got God on our side!
Preparation also seems humanly impossible. Bob's wrapping up his work with the youth and completing his studies, including several major research papers; I'm frantically teaching, marking, preparing plans for my interim teacher, and planning a 7-day Quebec trip for my history students (grade 8s). Then we have to get vaccinations (my personal favourite), passports (yikes!!!), Visas, tenants for our house, a laptop... this list goes on.
I wonder if it's possible to be ready in two months...
At any rate, don't expect piles of blogs just yet from us. Really everything that we have to do at this point is somewhat boring for you readers. And when we get to Tanzania, don't expect piles of blogs then, either, unless somehow we find said laptop with a wireless modem (ignore my ignorance; seriously, is the laptop wireless or the modem?). To get to the point, we'll update whenever we can and hope you get some great glimpses into this adventure in Africa from our collective thoughts and photos (if, that is, we figure out how to download them...).
