i went against my parents wishes and on my own faith and volunteered alone for six weeks with an amazing organization called African Greater Life Missions. I lived with a Ugandan family and taught at an orphanage on the weekdays an hour outside the city. I had never been happier in all my life. I had a Uganda mom, dad, 8 year old and 6 year old sisters, and a 5 year old brother, and a 4 month baby brother as well. they became my FAMILY. i had 5 genius students who loved to be taught more than anything. It is a place that will shape you and break you. You learn to walk the streets, and find your way through the maze of the old and new bus parks, how much bananas should really cost and what fried grasshoppers taste like. more than anything, it taught me how to LOVE and how amazing blessed I am.

in my opinion, everyone should go to africa. :)

and yes, this is all because i saw invisible children three years ago (for those of you wonderiiiiing) you can do it! and you can do it alone! it’s totally possible. all things are possible!

it’s hot!

i leave on May 19th to spend my summer volunteering in this beautiful country. i have never been more excited in my life!!
