About the Trip

Hey everyone! If you're reading this, you probably already know at least a little about my trip to Bolivia. But I'm going to write about it here anyway for those of you who don't.

I'm going to Cochabamba, Bolivia for 3 months this summer to volunteer at Casa de Amor, a home for babies and children. The home (it's actually 3 separate homes) was started and is directed by Jennifer, a family friend. To learn more about it, you can go to the CDA website and read all about it. You can also read Jennifer's blog to see what's going on there. She updates it pretty often, and it's neat to read about everything that's happening at the homes.

While I'm there, I'll pretty much be doing whatever they need me to do: helping with the babies and children, cleaning, running errands...I'm actually not sure of everything I'm going to do there; I'm just going to do anything needed. I will also be staying with a local Bolivian family. 

I'm super excited for this great opportunity to serve God and to show His love to the children of Cochabamba! Right now I'm asking for prayer and support as I prepare for this trip. I will update this blog over the next couple months before I leave, as well as while I'm in Bolivia. Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave comments on my postings!
