the beginning

my trip to Cape Town, South Africa. im traveling with the group Cross Cultural Solutions for 12 weeks where i will be doing volunteer work during those weeks. my placement will be at a home for HIV and AIDS whose lives are effected by the disease. Im working with a group of about 30 kids at an after school program, but only for the first week. in the weeks following i will be working at a school for mentally and physically handicapped children. i'll be working with a physical therapist and with the children in the pool at the school... utilizing my skills!! we also are given a fair amount of free time so all my friends here at the house and i have plans to go on plenty of adventures! i'll keep you guessing what they will be... but im using this to keep you all updated on all those adventures. more to come!! :)
