Better late than never....

That's what I've always been told anyway....

I should have done this back in February, when it started to form into a real plan, but that didn't happen, so I guess there will be catching up to do as of now.

To take it all from the beginning:
Since Christmas 2008, I have nourished a thought of a major get a way, an escape from my real world, to discover something new.
Played with the idea of a beach holiday, back pack in Australia, discovering NYC and Washington DC, but nah, something was still missing, it didn't feel quite right.

I spent a weekend with a friend and as we watched a documentary about the witch children in Nigeria, and the work this organisation did to help them, I realised it.
I AM GOING TO VOLUNTEER!

I got in touch with some organisations, but Nigeria was way too dangerous.
And many organisations charge ridiculous fees for an assignment, so - rethink!

One of my colleagues has worked in Tanzania, so I asked her if she had any contacts, and she gave me Berit Skaare's name.
A short email with an instant reply and things started to happen.....
