Sometimes, It's Noteworthy...

Every now and then, something I do is worth writing about and letting someone else know. Usually my thoughts are mine, and the blogging world is yours, but sometimes I get an opportunity that would be selfish not to share. Interning at the District Attorney's office in Las Vegas, NV was one of those experiences. That was the first time I actually felt compelled to keep a blog and make sure that all of the amazing people I had the opportunity to work with and meet, and all the crazy happenings that can only take place in the Vegas courtroom and on the streets with Metro were introduced to and experienced by you as well. And now, here we are again, and I'm back to the blogging world on another adventure! Except this time im not going to be writing about living in Eastern Europe, or interning in Las Vegas. This blog is dedicated to capturing my experience as HELP International's country directer in Mbale, Uganda, AFRICA this summer from April 2011 to August 2011!

What is HELP International you ask? (Make sure you check out our website here) We are a non-profit that takes volunteers into eight different countries around the world to work on sustainable development programs, helping to eliminate poverty by empowering the people who live there. Our projects are as broad as the interests of our volunteers and our approach to development is very holistic. All the countries are going to be amazing this year, but Mbale, Uganda is by far going to be the best of them all. Believe me - our team is full of amazing, motivated, and capable people out to change the world. And who's to tell us we can't do it? We'll prove you wrong this summer if you're doubting... just follow this blog and be prepared for us to change your mind. I have faith in our small group of volunteers, but maybe that's because I really do believe what Margaret Mead said to be true: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

Get ready... Uganda is meeting Suzanne in 20 days.

Ready. Set. GO.
