{day two} 


for all of you that don't know the story of how all this came about i'll tell you a little bit about how i got involved in this expedition to africa.

     meet my beloved cousin, and second half, M'LISS. last summer m'liss went to africa with the organization ccs {cross-cultural solutions} and loved it so much that she decided to go back. when things opened up for me--i had a semester off school, and the resources to go--i decided to join her. 
     we will be staying in the hostel hoff in the township of moshi, tanzania for 65 days. i leave february 28th for  a 27 hour plane ride until i reach my temporary home. we are going with two other girls from utah, making a grand total of four of us, each very excited for our adventure. 


during our stay in tanzania we will be working in four different orphanages, a women's center, and helping construct a new orphanage! needless to say, it will keep us very busy for the short stay of 65 days. i cannot wait to meet all of the lovely children out there, if only i could bring them home with me {we'll have to see how many i can sneak into my suitcase}


anyway, to wrap it up, if any of you are interested in how to get involved in a trip such as this, or even just donate to help the small ones of africa, i would be more than happy to help you. 


did you know?
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 24 of the 25 countries with the world’s highest levels of HIV prevalence, and the fastest growing proportions and absolute numbers of orphaned children. Between 1990 and 2003, the number of children orphaned by AIDS increased from less than one million to an estimated 12.6 million. Nine out of 10 children living with HIV/AIDS are African, as are eight of every 10 children who have lost parents to AIDS.
