Volunteer Africa

What will I be doing in Africa, you ask? From December 4th - February 28th, I will be volunteering with Volunteer Africa at the Hisani and Watoto orphanages, both located just outside of Mwanza. Teaching is the primary duty; heaven help me that math is one of the most important subjects. It has been years since I touched algebra and/or geometry. I keep reminding myself that any little bit of help I can lend is better than none at all!

The month of March will be a travel month for me. I hope to go on a safari, go to Rwanda to see gorillas, head to Gombe to see the chimps, and I guess go where the day takes me.

April, May and part of June have me at the Open Arms Infant Home in Malawi helping to care for children affected by HIV/AIDS. After Malawi, I hope to travel a bit more in country there, and then go to Mozambique for a bit of exploring.

I plan to head home sometime in late June/early July!
