I am going on vacation to Dubai for a week this coming Friday and will be gone until next Saturday (Sept 19 - 27). Well, it is not entirely a vacation, as I plan on doing a lot of Global Capacity work. One of my best friends, John Mayo Anderson, is joining me. We plan on putting the new Global Cap web site up and hope to work on a promotional video. I also am very excited for the high speed internet so I can update my public pictures and do other web stuff that I normally don't have the patience to do with the slow internet we have in Gitarama. That will mean the ability to Skype or iChat (wink wink) so let me know if you want to.
Mayo and I are staying at The Palm Jumeirah, which sounds quite like a slice of heaven. There are so many amenities and luxuries, and Dubai is one of the richest cities in the world. It makes me wonder how I will feel going there, after having spent the past 2 1/2 months in one of the poorest countries in the world. One thing is for sure, and that is I am going to miss the wonderful people I have come to love in Gitarama and Bukomero. The boys at Umuryango, the village children, the streetboys in Gitarama, the schoolchildren. The people that have made my stay in Africa so worthwhile and privileged. It is these people that compensate for any difficulty I have with living here. They make it easier and give me the motivation and the will to be here.
