Hard to believe that this month it has been 5 years since I visited Africa for the first time. I volunteered for a span of two months setting up solar-powered satellite Internet stations in South Sudan. These stations were to be used by local NGO’s, government, schools, etc for communication and educational purposes.

Over the span of two months, I blogged nearly every day what I was experiencing as I traveled from Ethiopia to Uganda to Kenya and up to Sudan. The trip was life-changing to say the least. My eyes were opened wider than I thought was possible to the world around me. Images I will surely never forget.

I kept all of my writings in a notebook and haven’t read them since I returned because the range of emotion I experienced was so dramatic, especially upon returning to the States. That notebook has been gathering dust for 5 years. I am considering reposting those writings here on my blog in a special section, perhaps with some notes on what I think looking back. Is that something you would be interested in reading?
