Swaziland

 via my instagram

I started this blog as an outlet to satiate my desire for travel. I studied abroad in 2008 and have been itching for more travel ever since. The opportunity hadn’t come up and life got in the way for a bit. I’m so excited to say I’ll finally be dusting off my passport for this summer. In June I’ll be on a plane to Swaziland!

Why Swaziland? I’m heading there with my husband and group of 7 other people to work with the most amazing organization: Advocates for Africa’s Children. I highly encourage you to explore the website to learn about all the amazing work they are doing in Swaziland; their mission statement, purpose and core values are so powerful.

AFAC’s Mission Statement:
To empower the African People to care for orphans and fight the spread of HIV/AIDS.
AFAC’s Purpose:
To express the love of Christ to widows and orphans.
AFAC’s Core Values:
Empowerment, Christ-centered, sustainability, and food security.

Over the span of 10 days we’ll be helping care for orphans, tend to crops, feed dairy goats, and build a new church. I’m so so excited. I’ll definitely be taking lots of photos and doing lots of journaling, it will be so overwhelming and exhausting but absolutely life changing.
