Wow today was a fantastic day. I went to a workshop entitled “Youth Working Together Across Borders” and I was hoping that my friends from Africa were there. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the workshop and saw many familiar faces from Africa. It was great to run into them because I didn’t get [...]

It’s 1:42am and I am beat! Day 1 at the International AIDS Conference (IAC) ended with a pre-show and concert that went on for about 6 hours.

I can’t believe that I leave tomorrow. I’m both sad to leave but excited to see everyone back home. Work was very productive today and I feel that I’m getting so much more done. Some days it’s hard to accomplish anything because of a lack work, lack of space, or interesting conversations with [...]

A group of us went to Johannesburg (Joburg), South Africa for the weekend. It will be a great last weekend in Southern Africa! We rented a car, went to the Cradle of Human Kind, Apartheid Museum, and had a blast! After renting a car for the day, we set off for the Cradle of Human [...]

I have had the most wild experience while helping 38 children with disabilities see Mokolodi Game Reserve. It is something that I thought that I would never have done. While at Mokolodi, brothers needed feeding and I don’t mean the kids I was caring for. As I stepped into the cage, I could see hungry [...]
