My Journeys to Africa: Shule (School)

Shule (School)

On Tuesday, I received a phone call from my transfer advisor at Concordia University Chicago. He said, "Caitlin, I have some good news for you." I just started crying! And then he told me that I have been accepted into CUC for the fall of 2011! I'm sooooo excited! Chicago is exactly where I want to be and CUC is the only school that I want to go to! It finally feels like everything is starting to fall into place!

The Experience of a Lifetime

On January 8, 2011, I started an internship in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa. The program I worked with was called Cross Cultural Solutions. I was working in an orphanage, school, and daycare for kids with developmental disabilities for 12 weeks. Organizations like the children's orphanages, daycares, and centers for street children have a lack of available funding and an increase in disease -- including HIV/AIDS -- and leaves many children without available, qualified caregivers. As a CCS volunteer, I was able to provide one-on-one attention and care that these children may not otherwise receive.
