Growing up with a younger sister with special needs taught me valuable lessons about compassion and the importance of cooperation.  In 2007, I decided to travel to Kenya to volunteer in an orphanage for abandoned babies.  During this experience I fell in love with Africa and exploring new cultures.  This will now be my third trip to Africa and I am looking forward to working in the community and with the children.
