Thrilled. Challenged. Honored. Scared. These emotions cycle through my mind as I prepare to travel to Zambia. Our Summer 2012 team is busy planning, preparing lessons, gathering materials and supplies, and making our packing lists. I can’t believe I have the opportunity to share my love of teaching, learning, reading and writing with schools in the Third World…and to do it alongside four other women whom I admire and who feel the same way I do. Can’t wait to see what Zambia has in store for us.

You guys are doing a great thing! I wish I were free so I could join and teach some of the things I have learned about clean and organic living. Good luck and be sure to take everything in and experience any new things you can. It will make for a much more fulfilling trip.
I am so excited for you to begin your adventure. The children of Zambia will benefit from your knowledge and expertise and you will surely benefit from their spirit. Enjoy your journey!
How exciting! I can’t wait to read about your adventures and to vicariously share your experiences with you through the blog.
We love you girls! I am thinking about and praying for each of you! You five amazing ladies will make a tremendous difference in the lives of the teachers and children in Zambia! Have a wonderful trip!
Ann, you amaze me more and more each day! I can’t wait to see pictures, hear about the trip, but most of all learn through you about the joy of teaching outside our little world!
