Welcome Text
Welcome to my blog! Here I will share with you my experience in Kenya, Africa over the summer of 2014.
I hope that by reading about and viewing pictures from my trip, you will be able to live the experience with me in a way.
A few notes I would like you to keep in mind as you read this:
1. I kept a written journal during my trip and have transcribed it for this blog. In order to keep it as close to the original as possible, I have transcribed it character-for-character. As much as this pains me in some situations, this will mean there are some (many) spelling, grammatical, and structural errors. I think that leaving these intact add to the authenticity of the blog, though, and show that sometimes I had so much running through my head that I just had to get it on paper in any way I could. Also, it is somewhat telling about the environment I was in while writing it.
2. I have left out some details intentionally. If you would like to talk about any of my experiences or have any questions for me, please reach out! I love to talk about it :)
3. There are some opinions which I have chosen to share, which I will hope will be respected. I acknowledge that I do not know everything about some topics I breach, but I chose to share my opinions on them anyways because it shows what this experience brought me to contemplate and recognize, which I may not have previously. If you would like to share your opinions or experiences as well, I would love to hear them. Please feel free to leave all the respectful comments you'd like.
I hope you enjoy reading this! Thank you to everyone who helped me to make this amazing adventure a reality. If any of the stories you read about make you want to get involved, please visit the "Contribute to the Cause" tab to donate to projects underway, or contact me to learn about other ways to help.
