Welcome to the Tusubira Vision Team’s blog for Summer 2007. 

We’re excited, nervous, and hopeful as preparation continues for our trip to Uganda.  We’ve been busy  getting passports, visas, immunizations, and a handful of other things together as we are at about 2 months from our leave date.

Members of the team will be rotating posting on this blog, so hopefully you’ll get to hear from all of us at one point or another!  For now, please see the links along the top to read more about our team, our trip, and Tusubira, the organization we’re going under, as well as more information on Uganda and the HIV/AIDS crisis there.

Here are the essentials:

Trip Dates: August 21^st (leave Seattle)-September 18^th.

Location: the village of Mafubira, Uganda.  Mafubira is a village roughly 2 miles outside the town of Jinja, in Southeastern Uganda, on the shores of Lake Victoria and the Nile River. Though we hope to spend a few days in the Northern Ugandan town of Gulu visiting IDP camps and meeting with children affected by the civil war there, we will be based primarily in Mafubira for the majority of our trip, working with STAO.

Current prayer requests:

-logistical (that we would get all visas/passports/prescriptions processed without problems or delays)

-spiritual (that we would be prayerful in our preparation in the time before our departure, that God would be constantly guiding us individually and collectively as a team)

-financial (we still have fundraising to do!)

Thanks so much for reading, I hope you’ll continue to check in as we get ready and once we’re in-country as well. We’re so grateful for the support!
