Pre-Trip Post

As I prepare to leave for Africa tomorrow (June 4), I thought the best way to keep connected is through a blog. I am traveling with five other Extension Educators, all who program in the Family and Consumer Sciences area.
I hope you will follow me as I have time and web access to post what we are doing at the Children and Youth Empowerment Center (CYEC) in Nyeri. There are several projects we plan to work on with the children and the staff of the CYEC. While we have these plans, we'll need to adjust and go with the flow, from what I understand.
I will arrive and depart from Nairobi and plan to do some sightseeing and go on a safari.  On the way home, three of us will be traveling through Brussels and plan to stop there for two days.
I will send you an email when I make a post.  I would love to hear from you while I am in Africa, so please feel free to post comments.  I will not be able to access my psu email account.  If you want to try to connect with me, send me an email at magettings@zoomonternet.net.  Internet access will be variable, so I am not sure how much activity there will be with this blog, but I'll give it a try.  Keep us all in your prayers.
