Friends,
I have decided that I am going to spend my last few weeks in Africa volunteering in Uganda for an organization called Soft Power Education. This organization helps build and refurbish schools and educational materials in Uganda. I learned of this organization from one of my Dragoman overland tour guides, as they sometimes bring groups there to volunteer. Thus, I'm highly confident that this will be a really worthwhile use of my time, and a great experience.
Soft Power does ask that volunteers pay for their own food and accommodation (no worries), and try to do a small amount of fundraising to help cover overhead and materials. If you can spare a few dollars to help this organization, I would really appreciate it! You can visit my fundraising page at http://www.justgiving.com/michellew54. (The organization is UK based, so the page is set up to receive pounds, but fyi, 2 US dollars equals approx. 1 pound.)
Thank you!
By the way, Nick and Lindsay have arrived and we had a lovely day out on and in the sea yesterday, snorkling near Mnemba Island nature reserve here in Zanzibar.
