My Travel Story

Emma is spending the first semester of her junior year of college studying at the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa. She left for her grand adventure on the 5th of July, and is hoping to fill up the next five months with experiences she will never forget. While in South Africa she plans to immerse herself in her classes on South African history, literature, and art, as well as join various on campus clubs, and volunteering organizations that service the local soup kitchens and surrounding townships. Emma is hoping to take advantage of as many opportunities as she can while she is in Africa, so in lieu of gifts for her 20th birthday, we are raising some funds to help her experience as much as she can. She plans to spend the money on trips around South Africa and to the neighboring country of Zimbabwe (which includes getting the necessary shots and malaria pills), joining campus organizations, transportation, paying school fees, and exploring Cape Town.
