Trip Preview
Hello Friends and Family!
I wanted to create a blog so that I could stay in touch with all of you while I am away in South Africa during the month of March...so here it is! I will try and keep you all updated on my day to day affairs and maybe post a few pictures. If you have any picture or souvenir requests please let me know.
Here's what I know so far:
I am going to Durban through the Child and Family Health International program to work with HIV/AIDs patients in various clinics around the city. My friend Lindsay and I fly out of K.C. on Saturday, Feb. 28th and will arrive in Durban on Sunday, March 1 after 18 hrs and 40 mins of air time. Someone from the program is picking us up from the airport and taking us to our host family's house where I am pretty sure we'll crash from the exhausting flight. I don't know anything about my host family since we have not received any of those important details yet but I hope they are cool and will teach me a little Afrikaans!
(More to come in the future)
