Official Cover Letter For My Blog

---

Here is where I try to sell myself through my writing, so that you feel inspired to follow along on my adventures. For my family, and all of you who know I’m not so much a phone person, it’s the best way to keep in touch while I’m away. You can post comments and send me messages and stuff on the site too. How is that different from email? Well, to be honest, I'm not sure how many personal emails I will get to write during my stay in the Tanzanian Children’s Village. They have limited electricity, the only source of which are solar panels, and given that I arrive at the start of the rainy season, there may be a lot of cloudy days with no electricity. I’m imagining us all running around with headlamps after dark playing hide and seek, slipping and sliding through the mud....ooh, what fun! Anyway, I plan to write here as often as I can, and post pics, videos and stuff pertaining to my trip. I’m not exactly sure what the content will be yet, aside from my daily adventures, but I plan to keep it interesting enough for you to keep coming back for more. Oh, and I should add that I've been practicing my animal face painting skills on Brooks, Ismay and their little friends...I've perfected my tigers and butterflies! I'll be sure to post pics of all the kids with their faces painted for our Halloween Parade! Stay tuned!
Amy
