Dreaming of Africa

December 12th, 2004

My dreams of travelling to Africa began a very long time ago. The thought of being able to use my talents and the luck that has come with my birthright to help those who are not as fortunate fills me with determination. I believe that there is an obligation and privilege that comes with being born in North America, to experience firsthand what is going on in the world around me and do my absolute best to raise awareness, raise spirits and ultimately raise the bar when it comes to what is being done - or lack thereof.

I am feeling that something is calling me to this beautiful place. There have been so many signs, and I am now ready to take them. This cannot wait, and I am more than excited. This summer I will find my way to this far off world - and I will fulfill my dreams of doing my part. I will come back forever changed.
