First post

Hello everyone! I started this blog as a way to stay in touch with people here in the States and to share my experiences while in Burkina Faso. A little background: I'm leaving the United States on June 17 to spend 7 weeks on an orphanage in Yakko, Burkina Faso. For those of you that don't know, Burkina Faso is a small country in West Africa. While I am there I will be helping Ruth, the founder, and all the other workers with whatever they need. Although I'm not sure exactly what all that includes, I am so excited and can't wait to get there! I'll try to post at least once a week to keep all you in the U.S. updated on what I'm doing. I can't wait to share my experiences with you and will post more when I am actually Burkina.
