]]> One of the reasons it has been so refreshing to spend this week in Mbale is because it feels so rooted. Although we have many of the comforts of home, this is undoubtedly a developing, agrarian economy. I think that we can learn a lot from this life.

You have to go to the market everyday to by fresh food. Having to boil the milk before you drink it. Raising an animal in your front yard, knowing soon you will eat it. These things keep you rooted.

Life moves slower here, because you see where things are coming from and where they are going. It forces you to live in the present moment. Accomplish what you can now, and be at peace with what you cannot.

Any suggestions on how to remain rooted, when everything is available, super fast, at any time in the US?

]]> For those of you who still don’t have summer plans, you might consider a trip around the world with my friend Sarah over at www.globaljourney.org.  Here’s what she has planned:

  • Hang out with Slum Dogs in India
  • Help out at an AIDS orphanage in Uganda
  • Get to know the Muslim population of Paris
  • Run a sports camp for Nicaraguan children

The trip takes place over 60 days this summer.  It’s a great opportunity if you are interested in mission work, but not sure you know where you want to go.  It’s also great for students or teachers trying to make the most out of their summer.  For more information, contact Sarah Rinn at sarah@globaljourney.org.
