Thank You to the Team

Here we are, home a week already and back into the swing of western life. It's hard to imagine that after all the planning and fundraising, the trip is already a memory. But it is a wonderful memory to be cherished.

I want to say a huge thank you to the team members that travelled to Uganda with Niteo this year. We were a great group that really bonded well and we spent so much time laughing together that I think the Nationals thought we were a little crazy! The stories that were shared around the meal table were always great.

Thank you to Bree for making the whole trip "the most exciting thing ever!!". It was very exciting to experience the trip through her eyes.

Thank you to Corey for his attention to detail while planning the perfect photo and for all his hard work and patience with the internet when updating the Niteo blog.

Thank you to Ecko for her immediate friendship with everyone we met. She greeted everyone with a warm smile and people were immediately comfortable with her.

Thank you to Faye for her courage in trying so many new foods and for her great work at Sanyu with the teachers there.

Thank you to Kath for putting on a teacher hat and sharing Math activities with the teachers who came to the sessions at the Eva Ruf Center. She was very flexible and I really appreciated that!

Thank you to Lauren for her amazing organizational skills. She worked wonders at Sanyu getting the cupboards sorted out and finding a place for all the medical supplies, clothes and teaching materials.

Thank you to Linda for her connection with the staff at Sanyu. She treated each caregiver with respect and they were empowered by her support and guidance in the care of the orphans.

I hope to travel again with these amazing people. Each one contributed so much to the team and to the whole experience.

And of course, thank you to Karine for her vision, leadership and friendship.

Webale nyo!
