I am 18...I can make a difference
During my last English class, my professor took each of us through several exercises that would help us brain storm for our next essay: a problem solving essay. While doing the last exercise, I came to the realization that I can do something about the lack of school supplies that the Wisdom Community School has. After discussing this with my professor, we started to brainstorm about different ways that I could collect school supplies, instead of buying them myself. So, we thought that I could get the Resident Directors and the Resident Assistants to encourage their hall to donate any school supplies that their hall mates have left over from the previous semester. This is so exciting for me because I know that this is an easy way to get people involved, and for me to stay connected to those children in Zambia, Africa. Throughout this process, I hope to keep my trip leader updated about the progress that is occurring so that he can update our team website. You can check it out at anytime. I cannot wait to keep you updated about where this will be going in the near future.

Great idea! I love how you are still keeping the people of Zambia and their situations in your heart after the trip :)
