Hey, I'm so glad to hear that you are already having a good time! It sounds amazing and I'm sure you will help so many kids while you are there! Anyway, Happy 2007! I've had to call FBH for work a couple times this week and I am not happy that I can't just ask to talk to you!! I miss you!!!!
You're amazing! Hi Jess! I can't believe you are fullfilling your dream! I just figured out how to read your journals and write to you! It sounds great so far. Just the names of the places you are visiting are impressive! Good luck learning the language and enjoy the kiddies. It will be so rewarding! Take care and take lots of pictures!!!

What a great experience! Hey Jess! how are you? it sounds like you are really enjoying your stay in Namibia. It sounds like such an incredible and worthwhile experience! Good luck with everything and if I get a calling card I will be more than happy to give you a call. take care! Ps Eric and I bought a 2 story house, and things at work have been pretty crazy the last few days. talk to you soon:)
WOW! I read yours with fascination. Some difference between Windhoek and Newtown, eh? I was struck by your paragraph about the populace disregarding HIV-AIDS prevention. How sad. But your adventure continues and it sounds wonderful. "The Bold and the Beautiful?" In Afrikaans, Dutch or Namibian? I might surprise you with a call from me at some point. I've never called that part of the world. Will you phone when I'm in Vietnam in March? Keep on keeping on and have fun. Love, Judy
I am jealous This is such a wonderful thing that you are doing and I am sure that it will be a life changing event (in a good way of course)! Take care and keep us all posted on your adventure!
Jessi... You've been on my mind and I am so glad you are there safe and sound! Happy New Year!!! Your mom is right- It will definitely be an unbelievable and memorable year for you. I love this blog and will look forward to your entries. Have fun!! Love always, Stephanie
Arrived! Jess, So happy for you. Just remember, you have practice of wearing the same clothes from your journey to Kili in Dec! I wish you success and I know the trip will be rewarding. Looking forward to your posts. Love your cuz.
Happy New Year! WOW, you are finally there. It must be so exciting to start a new year with a new adventure. You'll do great! Good luck and Happy New Year!
Dave
safe landing Hi Jess!
So glad you are there safe and sound! Keep us posted on all that is happening in your "new world." Take lots of pictures and keep a journal, for this is your year! So, Happy YOU year!!!
Love, Michelle R.
A blog? Are you kidding? Indecisive, yes. But courageous, absolutely!
Seriously though, congrats on making a great choice.
I can smell the manure already (oh wait, that's Vanessa!)
Finally!!! It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about how much time you had to decide which program you were going into! I'm glad I had a chance to meet you this summer and I wish you the very best of luck in Africa! You will be amazing! Be sure to call me when you get home!!!!!
Go, Jess! You're about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Now that you're a licensed professional, give it all you've got and put all those talents to work where they're really needed. GIVE 'EM HELL! And keep a journal. And keep blogging. Go, girl! L, J
you go girl! David and I are so proud of what you are doing. This is a dream come true for you, and we are so glad you have reached a goal that you will remember the rest of your life. Keep up the great work! How wonderful!!!!!
Be safe, but most of all...have fun!
Love, Michelle and David (and Snickers the wonder dog!)
