Its been a long time coming but at last the historic day is here! (and no I'm not talking about Barrack Obama becoming President! We're making some history of our own!!) - the day I finally get to visit the Pearl of Africa, Uganada, to see the children I have been writing to and sponsoring for the last 5 years through Compassion UK!
How am I feeling? Both excited and a bit scared!
My friend, Jen, and I spent most of Saturday doing last minute shopping and packing up gifts in rucsacks for the children. Even we, full grown adults, were excited!!! It reminded me of my childhood when I lived in Nigeria and my Dad would buy us presents back from London. I'd be so excited I could not sleep and when I eventually did, I'd be up bright and early staring at my new gifts!!
Scared - why? I'm a bit of a cry baby! I cry at weddings, baby dedications and even cry watching the X Factor!! I'm not sure how I'll respond to meeting Joanah, Joel and Jafas. I'm hoping I can hold it together and not get so emotional, at least not in front of them.....
Must dash - still haven't booked a taxi, been to the gym or packed my toiletries! :-)
