Here is my first blog about my trip to Namibia. I thought it would be helpful to post a little bit about what I will be doing and where I will be for those who are interested. I will use this blog to share my experience and pictures of while I am there. For now I am just sharing the basics, and I am sure I will have more to tell you as I go!
The program that I will be there through is the Center for Global Education (link is on the side). This program is connected to Augsburg College, which is how I found out about it. I will be staying in a house with six other students at a house in the capital city of Namibia, Windhoek. While there, We will be taking one class together about the Development in Southern Africa. We will be also doing an internship. My internship is at the Namibian Women's Health Network where I will be teaching English with Women and doing a Human Rights class. Below is a video of the house I will be staying at and the people who work with the program.
For those of you who don't know where Namibia is on a map, I figured I would include one. It is in Southern Africa on the west side. As you can tell, it is below the Equator, so it will be Winter while I am there....which means 60's and 70's during the day and 30's and 40's at night.
On the side of my blog, I have attached a link from the US travel website about Namibia if you want to read more about it!
I will be leaving tomorrow morning for the airport at 4am for my 8:15am flight out of Boston and will arrive at 2pm in Namibia on Sunday afternoon. I will be flying through Boston to London to Johannesburg, South Africa to Windhoek, Namibia. Please feel free to email, Facebook, or comment on my blog! I will have access to the internet during my time in Namibia.
I am very excited for my experience and grateful that I get the chance to participate in this amazing opportunity! Thanks to all that have helped me prepare for this!
Peace,
Angela
