Well... YUP! I'm leaving for Arusha, Tanzania in about 20 minutes. My flight leaves at 7:05pm and I'll get there tomorrow. So as you might guess... I don't have much time to write at the moment!
I'm spending 10 weeks in Tanzania interning through the Global Service Corps (www.globalservicecorps.org) I'll spend a week in orientation, a month living in a tent for a sustainable agriculture program, a month living in a homestay for an HIV prevention program, and about a week traveling on my own at the end.
This isn't about school credit. This is about getting away from classrooms, and getting down and dirty with a real introduction to public health. I'll try to update this blog as much as possible and I'll be thinking of all of the loves I've left behind while I'm there. If you want to send me a letter I promise you'll get one back!
