Africa

Africa is an AMAZING place! Wow... so beautiful! I hope you all get the chance to go someday! I could write a novel about it. So, to spare you all the boring details, here are some highlights:

Canopy Walk: walking on a wood and rope bridge 150 feet above the rain forest floor.
Wli Waterfall: swimming underneath the tallest waterfall in west Africa.
Cape Coast: a weekend at a beach resort. Enough said.
Monkey's and Crocodiles: fed them both.
Visiting the rural villages that people have never left their entire lives and don't know what else happens in the world.
Giving our final presentations for our projects that were very successful!
Visiting the orphanages.
The way sketchy taxis we had to take a few times.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
