Hello and bonjour! I'm excited to become a part of this community and to discover more ways that I can connect with women around the world and contribute to our strength and future. I currently sponsor a woman in the Congo and feel privileged to be a part of her life and of the positive changes she can now make. I would love to be able to do what I can to raise awareness and support grassroots programs. I am particularly interested in the DRC and am in the early stages of adopting a child from there...not sure if I can put up a blog link but here it is anyways... www.onechild.blogspot.com I am a teacher, storyteller and camp director and feel passionately about the care and education of children, especially of those who are otherwise marginalized. I'm debating taking a year off from teaching (all depending on the adoption time frame) so may be looking at travel and volunteer. I would like to contribute more both globally and locally...
