Exhausted & Sure
Had you asked me five years ago where I would see myself today, I can definitely tell you I would not have said that I would see my 24 year old self serving as acting director for an organization in a foreign country overseeing 43 Ugandan staff, 65 children, 60+ women in our program, and 7 interns on a daily basis. But alas, here I am, doing just that. Normally it's not just me here. Normally either Tina Weir, Founder and Executive Director of HEAL Ministries, and/or Trey Weir (her son), Director of Operations, are on ground in Jinja. My first year on ground, there were two different two week periods where it was just me. This year, things are a little different. Trey had been gifted a trip home to attend a class reunion. He was gone for about 2 weeks the end of September into the beginning of October. Then he was supposed to be here until almost the end of November. However, he had some medical emergencies happen suddenly and had to fly home early. He left on the 19th of October
