CASA

So now that Africa is done, I thing it is time to move on to a new blog. Leah's latest Adventures :)

So here you go,

So as you may know, going to Zambia changed me, and for the better I hope. I fell in love with volunteering. Even more, I fell in love especially with the children I volunteered with. The poorest of poor, the underprivileged, the forgotten and neglected. My most favorite day was when I decided I had to do something....anything. That was the day things changed for me there and changed my whole life. I went to a closed run down school and played with children. We didn't understand each other but we did, in our own way. After playing for what seemed like hours, I walked away with a million new best friends, all wanting to hug me and hold my hand. I love them. But one little girl and one little boy, I don't even know their names, helped me realize what I wanted to do with my life. So this whole time I have been looking for how to do that. And I found CASA. Court. Appointed. Special. Advocates. I start the training Oct. 23rd. I am so excited! CASA's website: http://www.nationalcasa.org/index.asp
