An Opening Statement

Hey all! Welcome to my blog; nothing to spectacular and kinda empty, but don't worry, I'll be filling it up pretty quick. As you all know, I'll be spending the summer teaching in Uganda, Africa; I'm way excited, probably more than I've ever been in my life. Here is where you'll be able to find the chronicles of my amazing (hopefully) adventures on the other side of the world. Expect at least weekly posts-unless I get lazy or die, neither of which are likely to happen ;-). Thanks to all of you who have contributed to sending me over there, for those of you who haven't and would like to, have no fear, I can still use the help. Funds donated are tax deductible and can be sent to HELP International 363 N. University Ave. #110 Provo UT 84601. Checks should be made out to HELP International with my name, Ben Brown, in the memo line. Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it more than I can say.

My departure date is coming up insanely fast; I get out of school the end of this week, then fly out of Salt Lake two and a half weeks after that. 23 days and counting. I'll keep you all updated as to how everything goes, and don't worry, I'll do my best to keep this interesting. There's nothing I'm more afraid of (except giant Nile crocodiles!) than writing a boring blog. So lemme know how I'm doing, or just stop reading. I won't be offended; I probably won't even know. Take care all.
