Hi folks, 

Departure time is near, so I thought I would check in, while I still have my wits about me. :) 

First of all, a huge thank you...this week I have received multiple deliveries of knitting supplies from near and far! I still have some yarn and hats to collect, but thanks to all of you, I am set for this trip and the next and I know the midwives will be so excited with the new supplies! 

I also have exciting and terrifying news; my business has officially been launched! Yipeee...and Yikes!

The business is a registered LLC, business license is pending, business cards are ordered and social media is live, although I have been too busy to get aggressive with posting. Please check out my website, follow my pages, and/or just talk me off the ledge whenever possible. 😂

Rachel sent me a large box of skirts and necklaces, made by the women in Atiak, to sell for fundraising. If you would like to check them out, here's a link to the Facebook post. 100% of the proceeds will go to MHI.   Facebook Shopping Fundraiser

In case you haven't heard, Uganda has closed the border to the DRC. I'm checking in with travel advisories and the CDC daily for any updates and my Uganda friends are also checking in. So far, so good. As of today, it's business as usual and the trip is still on. 

Well, there it is. Short and sweet! I'll try to check in again before I leave, but in the meantime, back to work (for me!). 

Much love, Jo/MB
