Just getting this blog set up so you can follow where I'm going, what I'm doing, and what I'm thinking over the next 3 months. I leave for Tanzania in 15 days and I'm so anxious!! Almost everything is done...shots, shopping, plane tickets, visa, and my passport. All is in check and crossed off the list.
For those of you who aren't entirely sure what I'm doing, I'll take this time to explain! For the next three months I'll be in Arusha, Tanzania (right by Mt. Kilimanjaro) doing volunteer work in the community. I'll spend half my time teaching English in a local orphanage, and the other half will be spent in a Special Needs classroom at a special school! I cannot Wait to see the beautiful faces of these children. Work will be from 8-3:30 Monday through Friday. This leaves weekends to travel! So far I'm planning on going to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, I'll do a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti, a weekend trip to Zanzibar, and a hike up Mt. Meru. I also want to take weekends to go to Kenya, Uganda, Malawi and Rwanda. I haven't found out where I'll be living. I'll either be in a volunteer house or with a local family. That's all I know! I'll be finding out my placements this coming week, and then I think it'll feel real. Once I know more I'll post an update!!
15 Days!! I can't wait!!
