Test run!

Hey everyone!

I've set up a blog for all of you to read while I am away in South Africa. Just a little background information to let you know what I will be doing.

It is a May Term session that I'll be going to in Cape Town, South Africa. Seventeen students are going total, and an instructor, Aaron will be with us. The class that I am taking is a "Cross-Cultural Perspective on the AIDS Pandemic". I will be staying in Cape Town, near Cape Town University, but spending a lot of time in Gugulethu, which is a township outside of Cape Town.

I leave May 25th, and come back June 14th. Lately I have been collecting medical supplies, shampoo, black socks and children's underwear. If you have anything you would like to give me, send it to me back home in Duluth because I will be going home for a week before I leave.

I hope you take the time to read this, I wanted to make sure I was able to share my experiences with you right at that moment!
