In a little over twelve hours, I will be on a plane. That plane will be be the first of a few that will help me to reach my destination on the other side of the world. I am going to India. I will be there for a month. During this month, I will be working at an orphanage that takes in children who have different forms of disabilities. I am currently studying to become an Occupational Therapist with the focus of working with children with developmental disabilities. This trip will serve to give me a chance to gain more experience with working with disabled children while allowing me to show them the love that they so desperately need. I am also anticipating to be challenged spiritually as well as physically. That is where my excitement stems from. I have been exposed to poverty in third-world countries before but i have not been exposed to poverty on this scale. I do not know what I will see, but I know that I will experience things that will challenge me. This is both good and bad; I have fear of the challenges but I also have hope and excitement. I know that God is active in this place and that I will take part in things that will be remembered for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to get to meet all of the wonderful children at SCH (Sara's Covenant Homes). I have been working on making this trip happen for quite a few months now and it is finally time for it to start!
I hope that what I am writing will be a good read for everyone. I've never done a blog before so let's hope that all the grammar that I learned pays off.
