(This picture is from the hospital I will be teaching at. The Burundi government provides free care to children under age 5 and pregnant women so this is a large portion of the patients that are seen.) Yahoo!!! I am going to Africa next summer for 2 months! I am really excited, and yes, nervous at the same time. I am mostly nervous of the unknown things that I will experience, but also really excited about all of that too. The plan right now is that I will be leaving the first part of June and returning the first part of August. I will post updates on my trip planning, fundraising, etc on this blog. If you want to follow what I am doing, check in to the blog once in a while, or subscribe to it so you will get notices when I post something.
For more information about where I am going and what I am doing, check the “frequently asked questions” post.
I am in the works of planning a fundraising event in the next few months, so if anyone has any great ideas, or wants to help out let me know!! At this point I am thinking about an evening event with dessert, a few silent auction items and music. I will be sending out a more formal letter soon to invite you to donate to this cause.
