I’m sitting in the house about to load up the car with stuff. There are five of us leaving today, one leaving tomorrow, two leaving Tuesday, and the rest leave next weekend. The last three days have been really amazing. Drew and I had the BEST camp we…
Today was our final day working at Kapadzera school. I was really proud of our group since we really had a lot of energy today considering how rough it’s been with volunteers getting sick on and off. I videotaped our morning songs, so if I find a way…
