SHOTS! Today I went for my second round of Hep A and B vaccinations. I also finished taking pills to protect me against Typhoid. Last week I also had a flu shot that is reccommended for foreign travelers. On the 17th I will have one more shot and then I am done until next year when I will need a booster. I also need to talk to my doctor about a anti-malarial drug and antibiotics in case of diarrhea caused by bacteria.
It has been a little scary learning about all the nasty bacteria, viruses and parasites that live in Africa but there have been plenty of people who have traveled there without incident so I feel better knowing that.
MONEY! So far I have raised a little over $1,000. That was enough to buy my plane ticket - now I just need another $2,300 for the rest of my expenses. The money will go toward my other travel and boarding expenses along with a few meals and supplies that we will buy for the teachers in Mozambique and their students.
I am really looking forward to sharing what I know with eager minds and to help improve the education of rural students. So I need your help! If you have been thinking of donating and keep putting it off - now is our time of need! Help me to help the wonderful boys and girls in Mozambique who have next to nothing - they are hungry for an education - let's feed them!
