Ok Summary of What I will be doing

Ok so the purpose of this blog is to update my friends and family about the steps towards my trip to Tanzania and to update you guys when I am actually there..so here it goes.

Summary of what I will be doing (with pictures for you lazy people):

Next fall, I'm 85% sure I will be here:


Tanzania (surprisingly the secretaries in the Programs Abroad Office at UCSD thought Tanzania was, on one occasion in Australia, and on the second in New Zealand..*sigh*)

I will be working with OHS (oneheartsource.org) to help AIDS orphans in Tanzania. I will be there for 10 weeks working with these children to give them what they do not have: a future. I will care for these kids through many ways including help educating them, and being the support figure AIDS has stolen from them. I will also be working with the community to inform the population about AIDS prevention to try to end the vicious pandemic plaguing Tanzania. Essentially I will be a helping hand in a continent that the world has turned its back on.

Check out the OHS website for a more indepth explanation of the projects. So yup. Keep checking here for updates!

P.S. I have a lot of reading to do...I am sad.
