Greetings to all who decided to click my facebook weblink!
Because many people have requested for me to update them about my happenings away in Africa this summer, I have decided to create a blog. I used to have a Xanga in high school, but I would not want to pick up my blogging from a site that reminds me too much of my past. I want to start anew, especially since my experiences at Berkeley have torn down much of the innocence and blissful ignorance I guarded myself with at Whitney High School. In addition many of my viewpoints and values have shifted, and I have grown into an adult who no longer follows the many of the ideals I held in the past. Hence, I am recounting my new passage of life in a new blog.
This summer I am going to Sudan in hopes of implementing a long-term primary health care plan for many of the civilians in Eastern Equatoria. I am doing this with a team of students and some professionals who are already ardently working there. I am going to recount my traveling experiences in this blog so that all of you, and mainly my mother, have a sense of what is going on there and what is happening to me. Hopefully I will be safe and will live to keep this updated! Just kidding mom! I will be with a team of trusted people, and I will be safe. So no worries!
Tomorrow morning I leave for New York via Delta Airlines. Then on Monday morning I will meet up with the team, Emma and George, and fly to London via British Airways. British Airways will take me to Nairobi, Kenya, and then we will take a flight to Juba, the capital of Southern Sudan.
I will see you there!
Reminders:
Linda and Carolyn, please send the check to my mom still and the copy of the lease.
Ryan, install Skype!

Dear Neesha, You have great team traveling with you. I know you will have very memorable summer. I will miss you a lot but I can survive for 2.5 month. Love from Mom
Hi Neesha, I know I'm going to enjoy this adventure. But I Don't think Pam and I are going to survive your MOM's crying and missing you. We'll just slap her once in awhile. I pray the ANGELS will be encamped around you and your group and keep you safe.
GOD SPEED and have a wonderful adventure.
Your MOM's secretary, SUE
