A step closer

I have paid all of my dues for the Tanzanian Children's Fund.  I am soo glad that that is over with.  Yesterday my mom and I went shopping for clothing to wear while I am in Africa.  We bought a floor length summer dress to wear when I travel outside of the village.  We also bought some shirts that can be air dried.  I still need to go shopping for some items from EMS.  There I will need a travel alarm clock, head lamp.  I am getting really excited for my adventure.  I can't believe that I am actually doing this.  There is not much more that I need to do to prepare for this trip.
