Tanzania!!!


After returning from Cambodia this summer, I had time to reflect greatly on the service trip and the children. I learned so much in Cambodia and also Nicaragua,  and I honestly believe that I have been redefined as an individual because of my experiences through Children’s Global Alliance. As a sophomore at Battle Mountain, I continually feel impacted and changed because of the trips. With a new perspective and deeper values, I have the power to reevaluate situations and their importance in my life.

When first hearing of the Tanzania service trip, I was incredibly intrigued. As furthered  my research and thought about the opportunity, my interest in volunteering in Tanzania grew. Now, I am honored to say that I will be travelling to Tanzania this summer with CGA. We will be volunteering in the Naserian School and Orphanage in Arusha, Tanzania. There are 150 children at Naserian.  I believe that my experiences in Nicaragua and Cambodia will guide me remarkably when being challenged in Tanzania.

As we begin our preparation for the trip, I look forward to fundraising, volunteering around the Vail Valley, and bonding with my fellow teammates.  I am very excited to see what the next few months hold as we prepare for Tanzania!!!!!
