Hi all!

First, thank you for making it this far and taking the time to investigate my adventure starting in September.

As most know, I LOVE kids. That is no news to anyoneâ€¦.

Volunteering in Africa has always been something I have wanted to do and after much research, the economic and rental crisis I have been dealing with in Sydney seemed like such a first world problem, literally!

So, for my 21^st birthday I have decided to go to Kenya for 6 weeks (potentially more!), specifically a town called Yala, and will be a teacher's assistant at Yala Primary School, supporting the Rangala Babies Home for HIV positive babies and assisting with projects in Odede.

I will be joined by my legend of a mother, Mel, who will be providing medical assistance in the local hospital and amongst the community.

To further our impact and assistance we will be accumulating medical and childrenâ€™s learning and entertainment supplies to bring along with us to Yala.

This means a lot to both Mel and I, and your support alone is invaluable. If you would like to donate to help us help Yala we would be so very grateful!

I will request for anyone who was planning on giving me a gift for my birthday that they please donate here instead.

Thank you!

Lots of love,

Erika xxx
