Tomorrow sees me begin the Ugandan experience with a tough journey from Edinburgh to Jinja, which door to door will take around 20 hours. There are hurdles along the way, not least Heathrow terminal 5 - they can expect another 'Naomi Campbell moment' if my bag goes astray!

The purpose of my journey is to conduct an internal audit of the Non Governmental Organisation SPW Uganda, evaluating their internal controls' effectiveness in relation to their key risks (I apologise for the excessive auditor-lingo in that last sentence). The work is as planned as it can be now and the pressure is now on following the great success of Richard's Indian and Nepal effort. Im looking forward to finally meeting the team out at SPW Uganda after all the emailing back and forward. But in typical fashion my packing isn't even started so I better make this brief!

I'll be posting blogs of my progress complete with pictures as the adventure unfolds so check it out when you have a moment! Until then, wish me a safe journey!
