This summer I will be volunteering in Jacksonville, FL and Upington, South Africa. For the first two weeks of my project (May 4-May 15), I will be volunteering at Lutheran Social Services with the AIDS Care and Education Program in Jacksonville. I will be shadowing a mental health counselor/case manager and working closely with HIV/AIDS patients in the local community. I will then be volunteering in South Africa from May 18-July 2. I will be working with Christanna, a home based care organization that provides clients who have HIV/AIDS and their families with support and education. I will also be volunteering for Oasis, an organization that cares for children and adults in the community who have physical, mental, and multiple disabilities. Thanks to the support of the Serviceship scholarship through FSU, my entire trip has been sponsored. However, please keep in mind that this is a personal website.
