I will be flying out of JFK airport on Monday, June 23rd to Dubai, U.A.E. After my layover there, I am flying into Nairobi, Kenya and taking a van to Arusha, Tanzania, the location of my summer program.
I will be studying through Arcadia University at the Nyerere Centre for Peace Research. It's a four week program devoted to Human Rights and Capacity Building in East Africa. We will be informed of the work of the legal and developmental human rights organizations in operation there. We'll have visits to field sites in Arusha and in the Masai community, as well as take part in a Safari to the Ngorongoro Crater.

I'm really excited for this opportunity! I want to be able to record this whole experience, so I'll be blogging and posting pictures. I just wanted to share with you in fulfilling this life-long dream of going to Africa.
So feel free to check out my blog and be on the lookout for updates!
I'll be back in North Carolina on Monday, July 27th and back in good ol' Orange, CA on July 30th.
I'll miss you all!
