Next stop Africa

As most of you probably already know, I am heading to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the summer! I will be interning with an organization called Leadership Beyond Boundaries. This internship will serve to help me attain several goals…

1          .     To finally see what Africa is all about

2          .     To gain more work experience abroad with a great organization

3          .     To fulfill a requirement I need to finish my Humanitarian Assistance Certificate

My plane leaves tomorrow night at 11:59pm and I will get into Addis on Tuesday morning! Nothing like finishing the Spring Quarter at DU on Saturday morning, celebrating your 5^th wedding anniversary for the rest of the day, and then leaving the country the following day. Unfortunately, Amanda will be staying back on this trip. So while I am truly excited for this adventure, it will not be the same without her.

I hope you’ll be able to follow my summer in Ethiopia through the blog! If you have any recommendations of things to do and see while I am there, please send them my way.
