Departure Date
Departure date is set! I will be leaving Washington D.C. December 28th and arriving in Windhoek, the capital, December 29th. This is really happening but I still can't believe it.

Welcome to my blog
Welcome to my blog detailing my upcoming volunteer experience teaching in Namibia. Thanks for visiting. I appreciate your support. My hope for this blog is to offer those interested the opportunity to follow what is happening in my school and community. At the same time, I hope to create a dialogue between myself and you, the reader. Feel free to comment below or email me any thoughts or questions you may have.
At this moment I am currently working on all the pre-departure steps which include obtaining my visa, getting checked out medically, and fund raising. As you may guess, there are some serious costs in placing a volunteer in Namibia. During my stay I will receive a small living allowance from my school, approximately $400/month, allowing me to live modestly in Namibia. Other costs of the program include the cost of my placement, training, air travel, insurance, and field support for the year. If you would like to contribute financially please visit worldteach.org/donate or send a check to WorldTeach (Their mailing address can be found at the bottom of their website). Please be sure to include my name in the "Purpose" heading on the donation page or the memo line of your check to ensure your support goes toward my program. Remember, all donations are tax deductible.
Again, thanks for visiting and becoming a part of my journey. Share it with others and check back soon for updates.
