Welcome to my journey. Or journeys. I love to travel, and I love to learn! So traveling with People to People is the perfect way for me to do both. And have fun while I'm at it! In the summer of 2012 I am going to travel to South Africa with a delegation of highschool students from aorund the United States.
In Cape Town we have the opportunity to explore Robben Island with a former political detainee, spend a day in a local high school helping students with their projects, and work with volunteers in local service projects in schools, organizations, and after-school programs.
Then we travel to Johannesburg where we get to visit Nelson Mandela’s family home (how cool is that??), join an African drum circle, join in games and dancing during a visit to a local primary school, and visit the Apartheid Museum.
And the we get to go on safari!!! And learn about a lion-breeding project, watch for leopards, lions, buffalo, elephant, and rhinos (oh my!) and spend some nights around the campfire in a boma, a traditional circular meeting spot, at the bush camp. I can't wait!
But before I go I have to raise over $4000. So follow my journey which starts today and ends in the African bush in June of 2012!
