Round Two: More Information

If you know me or follow my blog, you've probably caught on that I'm leading a mission trip this summer for college-aged pupils (ages 18-22).  If you've been keeping up, you also know that I did not know where I would be going this summer.  Well, guess what.

I found out where I am going this summer.

Do you want to know?

Okay, I'll tell you.

I am going to....

KENYA!

Wanna know some things about Kenya?

This is a map of Kenya.  It's in Africa on the East coast on the Indian Ocean.

Kenya is bordered by Uganda (where I went on a mission trip fall 2011), Tanzania, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Sudan.

This is what their flag looks like:

Bantu Swahili and English are the two official languages of Kenya.

Kenya gained full independence on December 12, 1963.

Nairobi is the capitol of Kenya.

During the trip I will be walking alongside the participants on my team, encouraging them on the way, and also doing logistical things like making sure the team is where they need to be, keeping a budget, etc.  The ministries offered to us in Kenya can be anything like hospital ministry (including but not excluded to praying, assisting nurses, volunteering in the kitchen), hanging out and befriending the locals, or volunteering in children's homes.

The trip will cost me $1500.  If you are interested in supporting me in these ministries over the summer, you can email me at kiersten.smith@hotmail.com
