See the post below this one for a bit of my limited experience with Compassion. 15 other folks are about to have an experience of their own.
Compassion has come up with a pretty good idea. They are inviting 15 bloggers to go to Uganda to see the work they’re doing, and blog about the trip. Should be good reading.
Here’s a list of bloggers from their site.

Count on it. Should be very good reading.
I’ll be praying for your families while you’re gone. You’ll feel a little helpless on the other side of the world. At least I did.

You won one of the iTunes GC’s I gave away over at The Secret Life of Kat.
Send me an email or contact me via the form on my blog and I’ll get the gc over to you.
Thanks for helping get the word out about the Compassion Uganda trip!
