Meet Our Volunteers:Expedition 2013

Our Volunteers make all the difference in our efforts to provide care to the women and children of Eastern Africa. Meet our Volunteers for the up coming expedition in scheduled for July-August this year! 


Sarah: Paramedic
"I have always been drawn toward Africa and have wanted to go for as long as I can remember. I am so honored to be able to realize a dream and be able to serve those that are less fortunate than I. I am so blessed here in America and have much to be grateful for. I have my health, jobs (too many, I am sure!!) a roof over my head and a house to call home, full cubboards, a vehicle and an amazing support system of family and friends. I am reminded daily to be grateful for my health and the many gifts I have! What a wonderful opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and serve others so they may have medical treatment as well as a school to go to. I am looking forward to this opportunity and have no clue what to expect. I believe there will be lots of laughter, tears, hard work and moments of being awe struck. I believe the people of Africa will touch my heart and teach me lessons I never thought I would learn."


Elaine: Special Needs Instructor
"While growing up I was exposed to many different cultures through students staying with my family. I learned while there were many differences, people are people and everyone deserves respect. I also realized the many advantages I had being raised in the United States. I firmly believe in the power of the 'individual'; everyone is capable of making a difference and being a positive force."

Braden: Student
" I have always wanted to go to Africa and serve others. I like experiencing new cultures and environments."  


Asante Sana for time, effort, and support! We greatly appreciate you!
