Leaving in exactly 20 days!

Welcome to my blog! I thought I'd try to keep this updated while I spend the next few months in Africa, so anyone who's interested can check in and see what I've been up to. Here's the plan:

May11-Aug9(ish-still working out the dates!): Work as an Assistant Volunteer Coordinator for World Camp in Lilongwe, Malawi. I worked with World Camp in January of this year and cannot wait to get back! (check out worldcampforkids.org if you want more info!) Volunteers work with students standards 6-8 (grades 6-8) on issues like HIV/AIDS and environmental degregation.

Aug10-Dec14(ish-still working out the dates!): Study abroad for a semester with Pitzer College in Botswana! I'll do lots of homestays and study trips, try to learn as much Tswana as possible, and spend the last month of the semester doing an independent research project!

Dec14-late Dec: free time! We'll have to see what opportunities present themselves! Possibly some travel, maybe an internship in Botswana, we'll just have to wait and see!

late Dec-Jan30(ish-still working out the dates!): Work with World Camp again in Malawi!

The time keeps sneaking up on me! Final preparations are underway! Still trying to get everything together in a somewhat organizated fashion, while keeping up with homework, daily crew practices, and constantly looming finals!
