How It Began

My passion for Africa began many years ago, but my quest to go there and see what I can do began 3 years ago when I saw first hand how deplorable the conditions for the children of Africa can be. I had the opportunity to work with a family of Somali Bantu refugees who came to the Chicago area after spending much of their lives in refugee camps in Kenya. I became fixed on the idea of, "What can I do if I go to Africa"? Can one person really make a difference. I believe the answer is yes and I now set out on a journey to prove myself right!
