Our friend Heidi Herman made a quick decision to spend the next two months in Uganda, Africa with Invisible Children. We just received an e-mail from her:
Hello everyone! I can't believe that we finally made it to Uganda. After about 20 hrs. of flying we arrived in Entebe and then drove to Kampala. We will be staying here a few days and waiting for some more of the group to arrive. The people that met us were wonderful and are taking great care of us. I love it here already it is so beautiful and tropical.
I am learning how to film and it's interesting to always have cameras on. Some of the guys were going to meet with the governmental officials and USAID today. There is currently some conflict here with UNICEF and the gov. because UNICEF has exposed the child soliders that even the gov. army are using. There is tons to learn and absorb. We are going under the title of aid workers for a youth organization for more safety.
The group I am with is just wonderful and so much fun. We are all excited to head north to Gulu and begin work up there. I just wanted to send an email that I arrived safetly. Thanks for all the emails but I really don't think I will have time to email much and especially to check them. So just keep praying. I am so excited and thankful for all ya'll.
P.S the babies are adorable and I've already fallen in love with them : ) And I just spent an hour at the internet and only got one email out. I'm definately in Africa.
I love love love you thanks roomates for the voice box I love it. And family I will try to send another email before heading north I love love love you. Please let me know if I miss someones email. Peace of Christ. heidi
