About a month ago I finished bicycling across the USA. We rode 3050 miles in 30 days to raise awareness and money for different aid projects in Burundi, Africa. So far $303,551 has been raised!
After cycling across the USA for people in a far off land that I don't know, I now want to meet them and volunteer for them. This is not the ideal time for me to go, but it never will be, and I believe God wants me to love Him and love people, even in Burundi.
I leave on May 20 for Gitega, Burundi, where I will be volunteering with Youth for Christ for 10 months. I will be helping start the Gitega International Academy (secondary school) and will be teaching English and Computers. Other than that, I will be helping out with odd jobs around the Homes for Hope orphanage and the Future Hope School.
I will need about $7,000 to cover the costs of me going to volunteer for 10 months. Please pray for my time there and please make a donation. There is a donor who is willing to match all other donations, so twice what you donate will be given to support my work in Burundi! If you want to know more about the trip, call me, facebook me, or email me. There are tons of obstacles in the way when going to serve and show people love in the third world (Burundi is the 2nd poorest country in the world), but knowing that you're praying for me as I go out on a limb will mean a lot.
