Long overdue update

Sorry I haven't updated this blog in a while, I'm in the middle of exams and it's all getting quite hectic!

It's not long until we go - Sarah keeps reminding me that the first ones to go out will be over there in a fortnight! It's amazing how quickly it's crept up, and I can't quite believe that I'm going.

Preparations have been going okay, and we've got quite a few things sorted out, such as visas, vaccinations etc. We had our Drink for Drink party at the Fleetwood in the City - thanks to Agata for sorting that out, it was good fun! We are also going to be distributing mosquito nets for Malaria No More, a charity that aims for, well, no more malaria!

We have decided on the teams that are going to help to build each system. Sarah, Agata and Chris make up one team, Tina, Rosie and James another and me, Amaury and Aimi make up the final team.

I will try to keep this updated in future, especially in Tanzania, but I don't know whether there will be internet connections available all the time so there may be long posts arrive sporadically or small posts trickling in. It's all part of the adventure - having never been to Africa before, it's going to be a steep learning curve!
