The Beginning

Howdy all~

In the future, I hope to post blogs on trips I happen to make serving with United Youth Corps overseas. When circumstances allow, I'll post pics and update. For now, I await my next trip in December to Kenya, Jordan, and Israel. Myself, Mr. Tim Waddle and 5 young adults from UCG plan to help staff a teen/youth camp for the Church in Kenya for 72 teens. I then to go Jordan to visit with our two volunteers at the Amman Baccalaureate School--Matt and Maryann Bates. They have been serving as student teachers at this premier high school in Amman. My next post will likely be just prior to the trip!
