Getting ready for my adventure

This adventure started almost 2 years ago when I was working with a wonderful family from Tanzania. They put the thought into my head and after talking to a woman I have known for a long time, who goes to Tanzania often, put me in touch with Amy Hathaway from Forever Angels - an orphanage in Mwanza, Tanzania. After much research and thought, I applied and was accepted to volunteer. I decided to go in February and March 2010 as I needed lots of time to prepare. That brings us to now............November 2009. I am currently doing a raffle fundraiser and have $1500.00 raised already for the orphanage. I am paying 100% of my own expenses. I have had my shots, yellow fever, polio and typhoid.......I am very excited and a little nervous, although since my friend Jana went this summer, I feel quite comfortable that I have made a great choice. I am passionate about this cause................stay tuned................
