World Water Day 2010

Thursday, November 25, 2010

At the end of my last blog, I briefly mentioned a Living Water Africa Summit in Entebbe that I attended. One of the ladies I met there informed me they had an immediate need for a volunteer in Haiti, to set up their new compound in Cap Haitien, repair pumps, and make sure the American volunteers that come out for a week at a time don't get killed!

Having thoroughly enjoyed my time in Uganda, but now finding myself on a plateau where I am not challenged I decided to apply for the internship. So approximately a month has passed, I have been accepted as volunteer Interim Field Staff and I will be arriving in Port Au Prince on the 6th of December, after a brief stop in England to see my family. After a week or so in Port Au Prince repairing pumps there, I shall be moving along with supplies and equipment to Cap Haitien to establish a base in the heart of the cholera outbreak. I am praying hard for God's provision of tickets, insurance and various other pieces of equipment that I need in Haiti.

So, I have packed my bags, and in a couple of days I will be winging back to England. Once again I have the same strange feeling that it won't really happen, that I'm not really going back. It's hard to imagine living in England again – however briefly it may be! I am growing to know this feeling well, yet I can still never quite comprehend that in a few days I'll be on an entirely different continent.

Please pray everything goes ok, that I travel safely, and that my irritating African cold would leave me!
