Last Day of Work

I gave my notice at work 11 weeks ago and I remember thinking that my last day would never come. But here I am with only a few hours left, packing up my boxes and files and it feels like just yesterday when I told my boss that I would be leaving.

I am so excited for what is to come in the next few weeks but leaving my job is still hard. I have come to love so many people that I work with and am going to truly miss seeing them everyday. I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with this company and these amazing people for the last year and a half.

As many people know, I come become very close over the last year with a couple in Arizona that started an organization called Remember the Poor. Frank and Cindy May have been involved with Nkumba Ministries (organization I will be working with in Uganda) for years and through Remember the Poor started the child sponsorship program and funded several projects at the school. Earlier this week Cindy sent out a blog on my journey and a friend in Uganda that is coming to the US to help us build relationships and raise funds. The link is below:

I would encourage everybody to sign-up on their email list as they send out frequent updates on the status of projects, current needs and share wonderful stories of the kids and staff at Nkumba.
