Before I forget, or run out of time, here is a link to my photos page. I am still trying to figure out how to do different albums and what what, but this will do for now.

I am heading up North tomorrow to my site, Mangetti. I really cannot express how excited I am about this experience. The orientation has been great and I've met some amazing people, but it's time to get started. I have no idea what to expect as far as living arrangements, what classes I'll be teaching and how many of them, and so on.
I thank you all for all the amazing comments, love and support! I will probably be back on the internet in about 2 or 3 weeks, so keep checking.
ONE LOVE.
LEATOTO-Swahili for "To Raise a Child." (I was originally going to Kenya) Through the non-profit organization, WorldTeach, I volunteered in Namibia in 2009. I taught English and Math to 8-10th graders in the Mangetti Combined School in the bush in the Kavango Region. This was by far the most amazing, humbling and eye opening year of my life. Enjoy.
