Hazard #828 that is not an issue in the US, but should be actively avoided in Uganda:

Getting your earring caught in your mosquito net as you climb into bed. Lemme tell ya, NOT an easy situation to get out of.

This week has been incredible but it wore me out completely, which is why I am currently on track to be asleep by 9pm tonight. So instead of a Uganda post, I will do a quick plug for a cause that is very important to me in the US:

I am on the steering committee for Relay for Life of Washington University, which raises money for the American Cancer Society. Though I am not there this semester, I am trying to stay as involved as I can because the fight against cancer is too important for me to miss out on just because I'm a few time zones away. Right now we are in the middle of a challenge to raise $48k in 48 hours. So, as this blog has shown, there are infinite causes in the world where donating money can change lives, but if this is something that you can spare some of your money for, I would really appreciate it. Also, I think you would be hard pressed to find a person whose life hasn't somehow been touched by cancer, so this is a great way to make a difference in everyone's lives, now and in the future.

If you want to donate money, read more about Relay, or read my specific reasons for relaying, just go to relay.wustl.edu and search for me. Thanks so much!

Peace:-)
