Step 1-commit- check

I have decided to do some traveling this summer, but it's going to be a working vacation. I am headed to Tanzania for three weeks to assist Cross-Cultural Solutions' on-going community programs in the town of Bagamoyo. Using the skills I have acquired as a sister, aunt, daughter, friend, teacher, and coach, I hope to share a little something of myself with the local people. Depending on the needs when I arrive and the other volunteers, I may be working with children in a classroom, with women creating income-generating activities, or with people affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The teenagers of South Philadelphia have certainly taught me how to be flexible. Let's see if I measure up on an international level. Here's to a new adventure!
