On October 29, 2010, after writing a letter to and having a personal interview with Lisa-Marie Howell, founder of Children's Global Alliance - describing my desire to travel to Cambodia and work in an orphanage - I WAS CHOSEN! 4 other students were chosen to travel on this mission.(Tabor,Jack,Kassie, Nina) I shed tears of excitement and could not have been happier with the outcome and this opportunity of a lifetime.
From the time I learned of this mission to a Cambodian Orphanage, I began researching the customs, culture and exactly what to expect while working in this country. While overall I am very excited, I still am nervous at times. Being away from my family may be the toughest part for me. But, SKYPE and the company of the orphaned children will surely help me overcome this. This experience will defintely be a life changer. I cannot wait to meet my new Cambodian family members. Lisa-Marie speaks to highly of them all!
I am required to raise $1000 to help fund my travel expenses for this mission. There will be several fund raising opportunities for both me and my fellow classmates who are also traveling to Cambodia. In addition, we will be hosting one major event for this mission. As more details are available, I will post. Stay tuned!
