My Travel Story

Hi! My name is Addison Smallwood and I am 18 years old. I've decided that this November I am traveling to Zanzibar, an island off the coast of East Africa, for a mission trip i've dreamed of. While i'm there i'll be working with children ages 2-10 to provide education while also volunteering in childcare centers. While yes it is expensive, I still plan to go but every little bit helps! My goal is to not only support the children there, but to learn from them as well. I believe this journey will be a huge reminder of how much we often take for granted, and a chance to grow in empathy and understanding. This trip is especially meaningful as I plan to pursue a career in pediatric nursing. This experience will help shape the empathy, compassion, and hands on aspects of nursing to become the nurse I hope to be one day. If you're able to support, whether through a donation, share, or your words, I will be beyond grateful. Thank you so much for being apart of my journey!!!
