I have been given the opportunity for the journey of a lifetime - to volunteer in orphanages of Southeast Asia. While traveling and volunteering in Nepal and Thailand, I hope to contribute significant research to the field of children's human rights. The children of these countries suffer unbearable realities of human rights violations through child labor, bonded slavery, and sexual exploitation. As work for my graduate thesis, I am researching the organizations that exist to return these unfortunate children to their childhood.

One Week and Counting!

I cannot believe that in a week's time I will be traveling on my 18 hour flight to Nepal! The time difference (east coast) is +10 hours and 45 minutes. I'm not sure of the reasoning for the crazy time increment of 45 minutes! I will do my best to update this site once a week with pictures and stories, so keep checking.

Namasate!!!
