Uganda Update: TWO (It's here!)

Hello, Everyone!

   Finally, the time has come!  We have our bags packed, our paperwork together, and we are ready to go.  There's work to be done and needs to be filled and this group is excited to get to it.  We ask you for your prayers as we embark on our journey and thank you for following and supporting us as we do our best to help where we can.

Here's little basic info on the trip:

Chicago - 1hr behind (CDT)
London - 5hrs ahead (BST)
Uganda - 7hrs ahead (EAT)

TO UGANDA:
July 4  Cincinnati-Chicago Departure: 1:30 PM (EDT)
                                         Arrival: 2:00 PM (CDT)
           Chicago-London    Departure: 8:00 PM (CDT)
July 5                                Arrival: 10:00 AM (BST)
           London-Entebbe   Departure: 9:00 PM (BST)
July 6                                Arrival: 8:00 AM (EAT)

Fr. Hilary has arranged a day of pilgrimage at some point in our journey during which we will meet and dine with Bishop Paul Fsemongerre.  This is definitely an exciting opportunity.

Two days before we return home, the group will be traveling to Murchison Falls National Reserve for a short safari type tour.  We will be showing our appreciation to those native to Uganda and the beautiful environment in which they live.  Uganda's picturesque scenery is certainly a source of pride for all that live there.
