Back in East Africa!

Yep, I'm back in East Africa leading another trip for Carpe Diem and loving it! I've been blessed with an awesome co-leader and a great group of young travelers.

Chances are I won't get to update my personal blog much on this 3-month trip, but you can follow our progress at:

We just returned from an amazing performance by the N'dere dance troupe here in Kampala, Uganda.



And tomorrow we'll be whitewater rafting the Nile from Jinja!

In fact, the rafting company is picking us up in 6 and a half hours, so I'm signing off now in order to wake up fresh.

Still happy, healthy and loving life, and hoping you are too!

Peace&Bleesings,
Azikiwe
