I am so excited about my trip this evening. I will be leaving for

in Tebe in Uganda. So the brothers and sisters in Uganda, Subhanallah, here in Al-Alamin.

exciting because it was meant to happen many years ago and for some reason it kept on

being postponed and even the last date that we had given prior to Ramadan, it was postponed as well.
