Game On

So I'm in Philly for pre-Departure Training. Turns out there are 61 of us going to Botswana. Of those with my job title (District AIDS Coordinator) there are 16.

Thanks to our facebook group it was almost like old home week for many of us.

Tomorrow we fly.

Dear Mike -
What a fabulous story -- and a new adventure on its way!

I will always wish you the very best.
(hummm sounds like a commercial....)

Happy Trails and Rewarding Hard Work --
Much love,
Janet R.
