I have always given to my community, spent years working hard and volunteering in my various cities, and being just an all around good gal.  I have never been outside of the US, with the exception of a couple of trips over the US/Mexico border, as I grew up right on the US/Mexico border.

I grew up in a poor family, and my father taught me to always have a strong work ethic, and give back to our country and communities as much as possible.

I am a huge animal lover, and traveling to Africa has always been a dream of mine.  I simply thought it unattainable, as I have been struggling to make ends meet for quite some time now.  Between medical bills due to lyme disease and a period of unemployment, I have really had to buckle down for the last five years.  This isn't a sob story, simply a background. 

About eight months ago, I did a yoga class and came upon a flyer - some folks from the yoga group was planning a yoga retreat in Zambia!  The group is affiliated with a charity that is helping two young girls go to school!  These are two girls who would never have been able to go to school without the contributions of this charity.  They are starting very small, but I would love to help this charity grow and prosper and eventually help many young girls go to school. 

I decided I was going to Zambia, regardless of how I would pay for it.  Almost eight months later, I've almost fully paid for the trip, but I am coming up just a little short of the money I will need for water while on the trip and just a few dollars of spending money. 

I am so excited for my adventure, which starts October 23.  We will be enjoying tea with the students sponsored by the group, and I look forward to future travel and figuring out how I might further be involved in sending girls to school.

Thank you for your help so much, and for hearing my story.  This will be a trip of a lifetime!
