Burkina Faso

Hello Bloggers!!

It is I, Kelly. Guess what! I'm going back to Africa!! This time it is to Burkina Faso, Africa. This country is in the Western Africa region and is the third poorest country in the world. I have been accepted to go on this trip through my school, Olivet Nazarene University. It was an application process, and my application was well prayed over! I know God is calling me to Africa and I'm so glad for the supporters in my life.

We will spend our mornings in one-on-one tutorials with seniors at the University of Ouagadougou, helping them make final writing and editing changes to their senior thesis memoirs. We will spend time gathering research for their topics before departure so we can maximize our time with the 80-100 university students. We will host ESL classes and cultural sessions in the afternoons and evenings for high schoolers and adult workers. Sundays we will visit Churches of the Nazarene in the area, working with preschoolers and elementary-age students. We also plan to distribute children’s books and clothing items to local churches, as well as theological books and Bibles to the District Center. After an intensive two-week schedule of tutorials and ESL classes, we will take a four-day recreational trip to Ghana before heading home.

Be praying about supporting me for this trip! I will be sending letters this weekend!

KELLY!
