Global Action Malawi 2007

I brought home…a Bao board handmade by the carpenter in our village.

I met…great friends and amazing people I’ll never forget.

It was a tough moment when…our group went to the hospital for children with HIV/AIDS.

I’ve decided…to start a program at my school to give back to the Warm Heart of Africa! Students at my school should…realize how lucky we are to be going to such a nice school.

In ten years I see myself…just finishing my second year in the Peace Corps, going to graduate school!

“My summer will not only be memorable for the great friends I met, the amazing experiences I went through, and the incredible people I had the privilege to meet from Malawi, but during my time there I learned so much about who I am and what I want to become. It gave me a perspective on life that I had never witnessed, and allowed me look inward in ways I never would have been able to before the program.”
