so really the only reason i set this thing up is to keep everyone updated while i'm in AFRICAA! :) but i figured since i have it, i should probably update you on where we're at so far..
mom and i decided to spend 6 weeks in Limuru, Kenya. we're renting a house with Puckett girls so there's gonna be 5 of us in one house. with one shower. interesting, huh? but anyways we're jus gonna go Kenyan style- don't quite know what we're gonna be doing for suree..i definately wanna work with Care for Aids and at Tigoni Hospital.
Care for Aids is an amazing organization that a few American college students and two of our African friends put together. They work with HIV+ clients who have been cast aside because of their illness. i haven't been yet so i don't quite understand it all, but from what mom says it sounds amazing.
i also wanna work at the hospital, but i'm not sure how often i'll be able to..i think that would just be amazing!
and of course, i'll be spendin a lot of my time at the Limuru Children's Centre, the orphanage our organization supports.
lots of opportunities to help me figure out what i wanna be when i finally decide to grow up! i'll keep everyone posted as the trip progresses..not too long until we leave!!!
