It's official!!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

This past weekend, I received a packet from the Embassy with a letter of congratulations for receiving a Fulbright Grant Award!!! ...and a stack of Health Forms!....

So, I met with my host, Mr. Alfred Kikoti, head researcher at the Kilimanjaro Elephant Research Camp, his partner, and my professor, Mr. Curt Griffin from Umass Amherst. We discussed when I should go, what to expect, what to bring and what to buy.

The Fulbright grant IS full funding, but it only covers general living and travel expenses. Unfortunately, I happen to need all new equipment for me to get the most out of this scholarship. A laptop may be a good start?...
