We visited an orphanage in Burundi, the poorest co We visited an orphanage in Burundi, the poorest country in the world. It was a very impacting experience & to see the children taste their first lollipop was rewarding. Burundi carries a rich culture that is deep & meaningful. We crossed 12 borders by land into five African countries. Thank you @antiquesafari for an adventure of a lifetime.
We stayed at a significant historic place, where H We stayed at a significant historic place, where Hotel Rwanda was filmed. It’s been a sobering day learning about the genocide that happened in this beautiful country. We walked the memorial graves in silence, praying & remembering. I recall my beloved Mom explaining to me while we lived in Malaysia in 1994 about the massacre that was happening in Rwanda. Being here today is sobering. Our next stop is, Burundi, the poorest country in the world. Grateful for @antiquesafari for coordinating this life-changing East Africa Pilgrimage.
Uganda, You are Beautiful! It’s hard to put to wor Uganda, You are Beautiful! It’s hard to put to words the astounding beauty of this country & the people. We randomly stopped at the side of the road & Michele handed out candy to the excited children. The saying ‘Africa will change your life’ is real & I am blessed to share this experience with my adventurous friends & mentors @zuzalow @mgormanphd
Kenya, You are Beautiful! The Maasai is a semi-nom Kenya, You are Beautiful! The Maasai is a semi-nomadic, warrior tribe in Kenya & Tanzania that embraces a vibrant culture, a deep connection to nature & cattle. We spent our first two days of our East Africa Pilgrimage organized by @antiquesafari learning of this beautiful tribe. My heart is full as I encounter life-altering moments amidst the beauty & the rawness of life here. Next stop, Uganda!
