Katie George said, “This is my first time being out of
the country, and I'm very excited! I've been working for months and have
invested a lot into this trip and have no doubt that it will all be worth it.
I'm also very nervous, as this will all be new to me, but this is the best kind
of nervousness. I love service, traveling, and trying something new and cannot
wait to embark on an experience so foreign to me.”
Philip Goldman writes, “As for excitement, it is
one of the great privileges of my life to be invited to join these Sisters in
their mission to help the poor and most vulnerable of their community.
There is nothing more inspiring or humbling than joining them
shoulder-to-shoulder. I am a little nervous as well as I want to make
sure every student, without exception, will meet and exceed her personal
expectations for this trip.”
As for me, this is a new experience as well, although I was
fortunate to go to Guatemala in 2007 and 2008 on Visitation mission trips. This
trip, however, brings a different type of nervousness, especially with our needing
so many vaccinations and prescriptions, although everything I have heard seems
pretty safe. I am excited to see a different community in Ndola and form new
friendships with the Sisters, teachers and children as we work in different surroundings
such as the schools, orphanages and in the field helping with medical are.
We will try to
blog every day on our trip. Please keep us and our work in your thoughts and
prayers.
Thank you!
