Africa - here I come!!

Ever since I was in Jr. High and first read the books Cry the Beloved Country & Things Fall Apart i've had a deep passionate interest in African culture. From then on I told myself that one day I was going to travel to Africa. Now... I am finally having that opportunity!

This summer I am going to be traveling with the group Mothers Without Borders to Zambia Africa to spend 15 days volunteering. Most of the volunteer work I will be participating in will be with young children orphaned due to the serious HIV/AIDs pandemic taking place in Africa now.

I am so excited and anxious to get over there and start helping! The biggest thing right now though is raising enough money to get myself to Africa in the first place. There is a figured cost that I must raise to pay for the trip and that does not include the airfare, shots, & etc. that will need to be figured into the total cost! Wow.

So if you know of any companies or individuals that would be willing to donate to support Mothers Without Borders & help me get to Africa to volunteer let me know!!

Here is just a little picture that really touched my heart!

New Year, New Semester!

Well i'm back at Snow for another (and final) semester. So far things are going pretty swell. I am only taking 9 credits so that kinda rocks!! I am also working on the President's Leadership team again and still totally Loving it! I have made such great and cute friends from my team and just at Snow College in general. I cannot even believe this is my last semester here! Time really does fly. I want to make it the best though and get some legit excellent grades!! I have a feeling that this is gonna be an awesome semester :)
