My Placement!!!

Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now! I received my Volunteer Placement email today! I found out where I'll be working! I'll be working with Home From Home, a wonderful organization that provides foster care to orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children. Rather than these sweet children being institutionalized, they believe that the best place for these kids to thrive and grow is in family settings in their own communities.

Please check out their website: http://www.homefromhome.org.za/

I just cannot wait to get there and start working!! I'm so anxious to meet all of the children!!

I will be arriving in Cape Town in 9 days!

And a special little note to the lights of my life- Thank you so much for your support and understanding and your willingness to share your Mom with these wonderful kids for a few weeks. I love you both, tons.
