Greetings, 

I'm from Charleston, SC, in North America and I've always wanted to experience Africa.  I was raised in the Southern states, and never really heard much about Africa. As I'm getting older, I want to learn more about the continent but on my Payroll Specialist salary fear I will not be able to Save enough to take myself, my granddaughter (5year old), and daughter. Learning the story of 'my fore-fathers' would fill such a void in my life.  When I think about what little information was taught, I really do not know much about the cities or the people.  The stories and tv commerical gave such a sad and scarey picture of Africa, and I can remember as a child feeling sorry for those that live in Africa.  I'm 51 now, and with the Internet being so vast, I know it's not poor and it is diverse.  I long to go and feel like a women, not a just a black women... but just a beautiful women.  I hope I am chosen to receive enough for 2 - 3 adult tickets and one child to a safe South Africian Safari Resort.  Thank you.
