Hello, and thank you for stopping by to read my blog :) As many of you know, I graduated from high school last June and wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do next. With being a little unsure what I wanted to do with my career, I started to wonder if there was something else meaningful I could do until I decided exactly what I wanted to do long term.
I found out through a co worker of my mom's about this organization called International Volunteer Headquarters and I knew what I wanted to do! I did my research and chose to volunteer in Nairobi, Kenya. The volunteer organization placed me doing volunteer work at an orphanage called Light Orphanage Center. I will attach a blog all about the orphanage that two sisters created when they volunteered here just before me so you can get a better idea of what it's like.

So thanks to the generosity of my family and friends, the most exciting and scary moment of my life came on Friday October 12th. Twelve of us headed to the airport and I said goodbye to my family and friends and boarded my flight to Kenya! I wasn't sure what I was getting into...
