Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Today I turn 22... Older and wiser? Hopefully I will be after this year is through. In my first post of this blog, I was talking about living a life of adventure... I wrote that this coming year would include "The year of (cross your fingers) working abroad, teaching special education and growing in all aspects of my being."
This dream is actually coming true.On September 4th I will be leaving to spend ten months in Ghana as a volunteer teacher. This is a decision that I have been praying about for over a year and I am so thankful it is actually happening.To boil it all down, this is what I want the people in my life to know:
God's got a plan. I am volunteering at Faith Roots International Academy through the non-profit organization City of Refuge Ministries. I will be teaching special education there. I will be there for 10 months. I am scared to death. I have to do this.Please check out their website....
Www.faithrootsinternational.com or www.cityofrefugeoutreach.com.
This is a phenomenal organization working on creating sustainable change in a hurting community through employment, education, and empowerment.
Yes, I am paying to go teach. Yes, I realize it is (very) expensive. Yes, it is worth it to me. If you agree and are willing to donate to this cause, I would love that. Send a check to P.O. Box 91546, Sioux Falls, SD 57109 with KT-1 written on the memo. If you feel like it, you could send one every month next year! Please let me know if you do... It means so much to me.
This adventure is big and scary. But it's also a calling, and who am I to refuse.Thank you for all of you who have pushed me through this journey... through conversation and questioning and support and telling me you're going to kick me in the ass until I go... I am so thankful.
Cheers to what lies ahead.
