My departure date is fast approaching!  January 17th is going to be here before I know it!  I'm very excited to return to Africa.  I'm keeping myself busy with vaccinations, packing, and preparing various educational projects for my trip.  I will start my journey in Ghana, working with City of Refuge.  There, I will be working with children that have been rescued from human trafficking.
      After that, I will head to Malawi to work with the Ministry of Hope.  This organization has two orphan infant crisis centers that serve as the home to orphans from newborn to the age of two.  Then, I will take a quick trip to Zambia to see Victoria Falls, and finish up in Uganda.  There, I'll be working with an organization called Think Humanity.  I'll work at a clinic that serves with refugees and internally displaced people.  As you can see, I'll be keeping very busy on my trip!  I'll make sure to post updates as often as possible, but I'm not sure how frequently I'll have the internet.
     Thank you all for the love and support you've provided me with over the past couple of weeks.  It has meant a lot to me to know that I'll have so many prayers for my safety while I'm gone.  Join me in the countdown, T minus 20 days!! I can't wait to be in Africa again!
