This Time for Africa!

My theme song for the next three months is the Waka Waka. Why? Because I am going to Africa this spring!

I want to start by thanking everyone who donated and made this opportunity possible! I am so blessed, words cannot express how grateful I am. This last summer I spent the summer working at a water park.... it was fun and I had an awesome tan by the end but I felt kinda like a slacker. I knew this summer I had to do something different. Something worth while, Something life changing!

I found out about the company Help-International through a poster in BYU campus (Help-International is not a company through BYU FYI). As I researched the company more I knew this was something I needed to do. If your are interested in learning more about the company I am going with, here is the link to the website. help-international.org

The past few months have been a roller coaster. I feel like I have already learned so much and I am not even there yet! There is so much to do before I leave from getting a passport, buying my plane ticket, getting immunizations, and fundraising. I have loved learning and growing from this experience and can't wait to get to Tanzania! I leave May 10 and will get back June 20. I am so excited and eager to go and serve the people of Tanzania. I will be living near the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro Crazy right!!!!
For those of you who don't know where Tanzania is (cause I didn't before this). Here it is!



Most of my time will be spent working in an orphanage, teaching English, or teaching Literacy. I am working towards a degree in Elementary Education at BYU and can't wait to practice some of the teaching strategies I have been taught. It will be like a full time job with weekends off. Plus I get to take two vacation days where I hope to go on a Safari!

Well that's all for now! Don't worry more updates will come! Keep coming back for more information on my spring adventure!
