After an amazing last year in Guelph, I finally completed my undergraduate degree (thanks to the friends and family who got me through)!! It was a great year full of ups and downs, but rewarding nonetheless! I feel really excited and ready to take on whatever lies ahead of me. So guess what? My bags are packed and I'm off to rekindle my love for travel and an area that captured my heart this time last year. I'm participating in another Project Serve International, this time in South Africa. For four weeks I will be staying with a host family in Khayelitsha, a township just outside of Cape Town. The focus of the trip is HIV/AIDS and we will be partnering with Canada World Youth. So far, this is all the information we have and will be finding out our placements when we arrive. After the 4 week program is up, I will be travelling with two other girls around the southern region. This is part of the reason I decided to go on this adventure - I really felt drawn to Botswana, especially the SOS Children's Village I volunteered at last summer. The kids, teachers and everything about that community was so welcoming and loving I couldn't resist returning for a visit! If you want to know more about my experience last year, check out some of the older posts on this blog. And please continue to read up on my journey, as I will be updating this blog from time to time.
I have no idea what awaits me, but I know it is going to be unreal! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Lots of love xoxo
