Feeling the Journey

We at Tabibu Africa Inc are in full swing preparing for our maiden voyage. I love seeing the excitement in all the team members, and their enthusiasm to go volunteer is contagious.

I am Wima,  one of the founding members of Tabibu Africa. However, I won't be joining the team on this trip because I just gave birth to a beautiful daughter a few months ago. The closer it gets to take-off the more I wish I could go, just to feel Africa again. I say feel for a reason...most people want to see Africa...but the eyes, the mind, can be deceiving. I want to feel Africa. Feel it's heart beat. I want to feel the love, kindness, and courage of the people flow through the veins, and through me.
That is my wish for you my rafikis. As you journey to Africa enjoy with all your senses. Embrace Africa like it will embrace you! My heart is with you on this journey...
