Wow. Its saturday night and the packing has begun. I think i have enough meds to personally support a small medical clinic on my own and enough antibacterial hand wash to literally drown someone. The mosquito net and spray are set out and the scrubs, neatly folded.... the excitement is building and the nerves have yet to come. My flight leaves at noon on Monday, Sept. 29th. I will meet Emily Wilkens (a great girl who I first met while studying abroad in France while she was teaching in Prague. She will be spending six months at the Bere Adventist Hospital in Chad doing similar work to what i will be doing in Cameroon...) here in Denver and together we will voyage our way across the world. Denver. Washington DC. Rome. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. N'djamena, Chad. 36 hours later our trek ends and our adventure begins. I will part ways with Emily there and stay the night at the Catholic Mission. The following morning i will be met by a driver from the Koza Hospital who will take care of my papers and deal with getting me (hopefully safely :) across the border. Together Adama, the driver and I will travel six hours into Cameroon where the adventure truly begins.... Until then.....
