My Africa Packing List

This is my own personal packing list, so obviously some things are unique to me and my situation (female, staying in Uganda for over a month, furnished house in the city, etc.) Even though it wouldn't be perfect for everyone, I thought I'd share it here since I get emails every year asking questions about packing for Africa! You can save and print this list, so please enjoy and share and let me know how I can be praying for you on your trip :)  PS--sorry it looks funky.  Couldn't figure out a better way to have the list easily save-and-print-able.

  2. Hey Julie! I'm a sophmore in college seeking a degree in Middle Childhood Education, and I aspire to either be a missionary or be very involved in missions with my major! :) I was wondering if there was a personal email I could reach you at to talk with you about your experience in Africa, how you came about it, what influenced your decision, if you are a teacher, etc. I'm really feeling called to Africa for my work, and would love to know more about what I'd be getting into. Thanks! - Kenzie. (My email is jesuss.freak@gmail.com)

  4. Book your next holiday to the most beautiful country in Africa!
    Known as the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is a country with the best of everything the continent of Africa has to offer tourists, with an abundance of natural and cultural assets, strong eco-tourism products, including more than half of the world’s mountain gorilla population, and an emphasis on community, rural and adventure tourism.

  7. Oh my heavens! This is way to cool! I'm going on a missions trip this summer to Uganda, a different part I believe, but couldn't help but giggle at this God moment! The list is awesome, are their any other tips you could give for being in Uganda?

  8. I will be sending a birthday gift to my young pen pal in a small remote village in Uganda. I do not know what to send, actually. Hoping you may be able to help. She is 12 years old, has many siblings and they do not have electricity in their home, nor running water. She is a student, speaks three languages,and I thought about a book, but do not know what might be popular for a girl her age. Thank you.
