I am anxious and excited to arrive and see what the community is like. I will be the first to admit that I am a little terrified as well, but it is adding to the excitement. Stomach is churning, palms getting a bit sweaty...although not Darren level yet...
Anyway, I just wanted to get the first post out of the way. I hope that by posting to this blog, I will be able to provide everyone with a little bit of insight into my stay in Uganda and the work I will be doing. I plan and expect to be able to post pictures as well.
I will have fairly regular access to email, so if you do have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to drop me an email (josh.kahane@gmail.com).
As some of you know, the plan is for me to be back in Boston on December 26th. If things have gone well up until that point, I will most likely be returning to Uganda shortly thereafter, but because of all the uncertainty surrounding my program (meaning they haven't done this before) Dr. Bangsberg and I agreed this would be a good way to test it out. Anyway, time to start packing...
