Africa Blog

Hey everyone, this site is where the students (and alumni) will blog while in Africa. For those who don't know what to expect, this will simply be a place the students write entries about their experience so far while in Africa; being updated via laptop or iPad when we find areas with WiFi. Hopefully we are capable of not only uploading text entries to the page, but will also be capable of including photos and videos.
To stay up to date with entries, you can either hit the "follow" tab, or just check in every couple days.

    First full day on the ground under the influence of your own bipedal motion. We are all excited to hear that you landed safely on the continent and made it to Augrabies NP... well, most of you. So very devastated to hear of Thomas's mishap and finger surgery (David and Heidi to the rescue). We are thinking of all of you, and saying a special prayer for Thomas (and Becky and Andy) for a fast recovery. Watch out for one another...have fun - The Berry's

    The weather seems to be chilly overnight and warm during the day. Just what the doctor ordered. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. Hello Connor! The Purks

    Hi Forrest! I'm so glad you were able to reach Dad on the phone. Sounds like you are having a fantastic experience! I saw you did some shopping and were running a little low on funds (visa) so it's been reloaded. Love you - Mom.

    Kate, your voice was music on Sunday morning. Wish you were here... no... wish I was there. The Readers Digest version of the past 2 weeks was great, can't wait for the expanded version. At the half way point... so much still ahead. Give David, Heidi, Alan, Polly, Laura and Anthony a hug from us all for leading the way. Take good care, xoxoxox mom & dad

    Hope your are well. We miss hearing from you, but assume no news is good news. Call when you get a free minute, although we suspect every minute is full of new experiences. So, enjoy and know your are loved and missed.
    Dad and Marti
