Gap Year Adventure - South Africa: Tabitha

Reference number: 3212178

Tearfund trip code: 1436

Next February, I will be headed to Pietermaritzburg to work in the orphanage run by Tabitha Ministries. I will be living with the kids as well as working with HIV and AIDS affected families in the nearby townships. What a thought! 6 months submerged 24/7 in Zulu speaking communities sharing God's love in practical ways. I will be pouring my heart and soul during this time into alleviating poverty - both spiritual and material -  with a particular focus on working with communities decimated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. 

I couldn't be more excited for this next chapter in the exciting life God has given me and I am so grateful for all of your support and prayers to help make this happen. I know it will be an amazing experience for me, as well as making a tremendous difference in the lives of these children and many living in poverty :)

(Tabitha is a Christian Non-Profit Organisation providing care for people affected and infected with HIV/AIDS. Based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, they care for adults and children in the community with a major focus on Child-Headed Households - see http://www.tabithaministries.co.za/ for more info.)
