Sthuper Duper Exthided

Can I just express how distraught I have been about not having my own specific project....

Don't get me wrong, I love being here and I have already learned so much about my self and the African people here and the volunteers I am living with....

I've just been like feeling like I want to have my own project that I get excited about everyday, rather than waking up wondering what project I am going to get on board with that day. I talked to Rebecca (one of the country directors) about it and we kinda talked about what I like to do and what I am interested in and I told her that's kinda why I am here, to figure that all out.

After talking about it for sometime, she came up with the genus idea of documenting the entire summer in a creative way...I went to bed that night really thinking about it and ended up staying up all night thinking about what I could do. 

I documented a picture of me brainstorming because I was convinced this was something that was going to be real good and I couldn't stop smiling....

So I ended up not sleeping because I kept having ideas come to my mind and I ended up coming up with this huge idea about how I could document the summer for the benefit of the summer and of how people like you guys back home can be inspired....

I talked over my ideas with Rebecca and talked with my bunk buddy, Mallory because she was feeling the exact same as me, not having her own specific project and wanting to do everything but wanting to do something that she could be in charge of. Come to find out we both have a love for people and getting to know their stories so we took a walk into town and starting feeding out ideas off of each other....in conclusion we came up with the coolest plan ever. 

Here we are celebrating our creative brains with a piece of cake that wasn't even that good at 

Chat and Chino

I don't want to spoil it but here is a whiddle baby idea of what's happening...

Each week we are revealing a Ugandan on a blog type of website that we meet 

and telling their story to you in a super creative way.

In addition we are going to spotlight volunteers and have project updates every other week. 

Sounds broad, but trust me, it's going to be incredible. 

We have all the details and everything pretty much figured out sooo this isn't just something I am saying because it's a good idea. It's actually going to happen and it's going to be so good.

We are really excited about it and this way we can really be involved and participate in all the projects while working on ours by documenting the whole summer and inspiring everyone at home.

Get ready. 

P.S. If you are confused, just be patient.
