Leaving

My flight leaves out of New York tomorrow night a 7:00! I'm so excited to finally start this adventure! This will be the last update on my blog until I come back. I'll be taking lots of pictures and I can't wait to share my experience with everyone! Thanks to all who helped me get there. See you in August!

Letters to Africa

To send me letter in Africa, the address is:

Global Routes
c/o Amal El Hadri
6 Rue Caid Said
Quartier Administratif
Azrou 53100
MOROCCO, North Africa

My name and host community name must be written in the lower left hand corner of the envelope. The host community name will be on a blog on the Global Routes website, www.globalroutes.org. Letters have to be sent by July 6, because they can take up to two weeks to reach their destination. I'd love to hear from everyone!

Project Description

Global Routes posted details about the project I will be doing in Morocco! I will be renovating a school and building a playground in the town of Azrou, in the Mid-Atlas mountains. I will also be doing secondary projects, such as painting a mural in the school or helping package and market a local women's cooperative's product. It's going to be so much fun!
