So, as Im sitting in bed alone I start searching again for my next adventure. Searching online at Bing.com for cheap flights to Haiti just because I feel a social responsibility to help people. I dont know where it comes from because I certainly wasnt raised doing that. Travel to Haiti would be extremely in expensive, however, I dont know any organizations that are taking people with zero qualifications. How depressing does it sound to say "I have zero qualifications on paper and I dont have a degree in anything that matters". If there were a way for an interviewer or organization to look into my heart and see that all I want to do in my life is help people. The immense passion I have to make a difference feels like its clawing its way out of my chest just thinking about it. After coming to the realization that Im probably not going to find anything that I fit the criteria for in Haiti so I ventured onto looking at my beloved Uganda once again. It is significantly cheaper this time around which is amazing and I know Id easily find a place to help. I start looking at familiar web pages like Invisible Childrens and I stumble across the Legacy Tour. This tour includes not only American roadies but Acholi roadies as well. Who knew that Norman, Jolly's dad, would be heading up the Deep South route!? Im so excited about that but I still want to go back. Id seriously leave right this second if I could. I dont even know why Im typing this Im the only one who reads this crap blog anyways but Im also the only one who gets how much I love Uganda. I guess if anyone reads this, if anyone knows anyone who can connect me with a "job" there, if anyone can pray for me to be reconnected to the Acholi people that I hold so dear to my heart, Id greatly appreciate it.
