Bon Voyage to Africa

by Warren Bachand | Jan 14, 2012

We left Portland, Oregon on January 13, 2012 for Africa. I'm traveling with one of my staff. The trip has taken us through Amsterdam, Entebbe and Kampala. The 20-hour flight was exhausting. Our plan is to go to Uganda, Kenya, Somalia and Liberia. My objective is to visit some of our medical clinics and work camps to see the progress that is being made in helping the hurting and hungry in these regions.
