This is my last post from Zimbabwe. As I’m sitting in the airport writing this, I can’t help but feel like I’m not supposed to be leaving. I’m excited for my next project in Namibia but I’m so sad to be leaving Chipangali. What an incredible first 6 weeks. The rest of my time has…

Time has flown by faster than I could have ever expected. I can’t believe I leave this place in 8 days. I’m so excited for Namibia and my new adventure but I love this place so much. I’m already planning when I’m going to come back and I haven’t even left yet. This past week…

Wow, tomorrow is one month in this incredible place. Two weeks left and I know they are going to fly by. We’ve got an (almost) whole new set of volunteers since I got here. I have two new roommates: Yuki, a 23-year old student from Japan, and Noa, a 22-year old student from Israel. We…

I’m so happy we had the time together that we did because it really made my first few weeks here incredible. Sunday was Micky’s birthday so…

It’s officially the end of week two!

I love having the opportunity to meet people from other countries…

Sorry for the silence! It has been quite a week here in Zimbabwe. Monday afternoon was the start of a 3-day strike throughout the country because of the increased gas prices. Unfortunately, internet and cellular networks were shut off so I haven’t been able to post. We are completely safe at the orphanage and are…

I’m almost done with week one! It’s been so great so far. Since Tuesday, we have lost power everyday. We pretty much lose power anytime we have rain or even the threat of a thunderstorm. Currently, we have power but for some reason our lights don’t work so we’ve been in the dark all night.…
