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.

Off to the jungle!!!!

As if my trip couldn't be more amazing and unique, I now have another incredible journey ahead of me! On Sunday morning Adelaide and I will be leaving for a three day jungle safari in Chitwan National Park!!! One day is spent riding elephants! I cannot wait to touch and look into the eyes of these beautiful animals. There will be bugs galore, but I'm going to suck it up, and try not to be such a girl :) Can't wait to update my blog with my upcoming adventures and pictures!!!
