This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Youth with physical disabilities

Today my mom and I got to rest until noon and then we went into the field to see kids in their wheelchairs that my moms organization provided. We saw two boys named Marvin and Soulin. They  were in wheelchairs and they had a lot that they had to persevere with. Marvin's parents abandoned him when he was very young so his older brother cares for him. Mavin made me very sad because he is differently abled and has to sit in a wheelchair because when his mother was giving birth the  doctor pulled on his head and it stretched his spine out so it was unstable. That made me feel so bad and it made me think about how privileged Americans are.
It  has been a big couple days so I am going to wrap this up!!
