Why is he pointing?

A couple weeks ago, Corbin and I participated in this "Cultural Celebration" fair at our church. It was really pretty cool. I helped do a booth for Guatemala. I put together a slide show and we had lots of yummy food made by some wonderful Guatemalan ladies. Corbin really enjoyed going to all the booths, trying the food, etc. I was impressed, we have quite the variety of backgrounds and experience in our little community. Along one wall, they had these chalk map drawing that one guy did. They were really cool.

All of the above pictures are pretty self explanantory, but the big question is, What exactly is Corbin pointing at and why???

Hopefully you can tell what continent it is, but since you probably can't read it, even if you click on it and enlarge it -he is pointing at Uganda. Why you ask? (Or maybe you have already guessed) Yes, I am going to Africa! Por fin! (oops, guess my Spanish won't get me very far there) Finally! I will be going for two short weeks this summer with HELP International, the non-profit development organization I have been working with for a few years.
I will post more details soon (when I have nothing else to write about), but for now I wanted to share my excitement! This is not for everyone, I realize, but I have been wanting to go for the last three years, and it is finally going to work out! I can't wait!

You are going to UGANDA??! Oh man, that is so cool. I'm super jealous. I can't wait to hear more about what you do!
