Hello, again!
So, let's talk about Ebola. π Many of you have reached out to me about the recent Ebola outbreak, so I thought I would share some information. First off, here is a link with detailed information from the World Health Organization...

Here is a map showing the areas of the latest outbreak in the DRC...There have only been 2 confirmed cases (including 1 death) of Ebola in Kampala, Uganda, from travelers from the DRC. Here is a link to the CDC with more information...

On the map below, Atiak is the red dot, Kampala is circled in blue and you can see the DRC border in purple.
Rachel and I are communicating almost daily, and we will wait to assess the situation as it gets closer to take off. The good news about the early detection is that more money will be released by the government for research and potential treatments.
Again, thank you for the concern and I will promise to keep you all in the loop!
OXOX, Jo/MB
Be sensible and safe, Jo !
