When I signed up to travel to Tanzania with GIVE, I didn't know what to expect.  I had always envisioned traveling to Africa for a volunteer opportunity, but what I found when I arrived was even more amazing than I anticipated.

After arriving on the island of Zanzibar, we settled into our hotel, Baby Bush Lodge, and then were off to see the school which we would be help building for the next ten days.  During orientation, I was hooked on a few things that our leads told us stuck with me for the duration of the trip (by way of my journal).
