More than one place feels like home.

Here it is...the final (or close to final) post for Tanzania. I suppose this closes up the Giving Back and Exploring stories, for a little while at least. Almost two months have passed since I left the Rift Valley Children's Village. After boarding the plane at Kilimanjaro, I visited China with two best friends, and then just days after landing in the States, repacked my stuff for a move to one of the biggest cities in the world where other friends and I whisked a queen sized bed down New York's 23rd street to my new apartment. The differences in experience over the past few months are wondrous..borderline overwhelming...but pretty cool. Thanks for following along for the past year or so. It's most definitely been the most important, and best, so far.

Despite the recent hustle and bustle, not a day goes by that I don't wonder about the kids at the Village, and how things are going there. I loved being a part of their lives. The wake-ups, the school, the fun...so it doesn't surprise me that I've spent several hours a day sorting through pictures and videos to make these recap videos and capture what it was like to be there. Thanks to everyone at the Rift Valley Children's Village for letting me become part of their family.

I hope that this video give you a look into what it was like to be in Tanzania, and what it's like to have all of the creative freedom in the world to have fun with the kids. Spending time with them was nothing short of inspiring, and I hope that these videos inspire you to get involved. You can easily make a donation and there's always a wish list posted on the RVCV website.

One of the most important things you can do is sponsor one or more of the children. It's a really wonderful way to establish a connection with the kids. And I have no shortage of stories about most of the kids at the Village. Don't hesitate to let me know if this is something that interests you. It's a tough time financially for just about everyone, but even the smallest contribution makes a big difference.
