Less Than A Month To Go!
By Elizabeth Kujbida: Dumela everyone! I’m having the hardest time wrapping my head around the fact that my time in Botswana is only 25 days away from being over. It feels like almost yesterday that we first touched down in this beautiful country! Since Trevor’s last update two weeks ago, our workload has really increased […]
Wrapping up the Events!
By Matthew Hagopian: Sawubona! It’s becoming very hard to believe that I will be leaving in roughly one more month. It feels like this internship is just flying by.

Beach Volleyball, BLTAD, and Exploring Botswana!

Discovering a New Passion!
By Matthew Hagopian: Sawubona, This will be my second blog post after being here for just over one month and finally settling here in Mbabane, Swaziland. I think I am officially feeling at home here.
