As I prepare for finals I find myself distracted by all of the preparation and excitement leading up to this trip. It's surely going to be a whirlwind of a week.
Just incase I haven't told you personally here's the plan for the summer:
June 11-ish: leave for South Africa
Month 1: Study Abroad. This is a program through SPU. There will be 14-ish students on the trip and we'll be spending time in Cape Town studying, building houses and learning about the history of the country. Then we go off to an African theater festival for a week and then a week of sightseeing and fun!
Month 2.5: After the group leaves I will be staying in South Africa for another month and a half. A friend (Grant) and I will be meeting up with people we've contacted over the year in Cape Town and Pretoria. We're looking forward to meeting some great people and getting connected with the work they're doing in South Africa. Some of that might be working with the homeless in Cape Town, hanging out in an orphanage, meeting university students, learning about the townships and just really immersing ourselves in the South African culture and experience.
So there's the rough itinerary...I'll be back to Seattle on August 22nd and back in the Bay shortly there after.
Like I said in my opener thing, I'll be close to the internet at most times, so please feel free to email me updates and keep in touch. I'd love to hear how your summers are going :-D
Much Love.
