I'm going with an organization called the International Honors Program on their "Health and Community" program. There will be 31 students from different colleges (I'm the only one from Tufts) and will be studying global health! A couple of teachers travel with us and we will also have in-country teachers and multiple guest lecturers. So pumped!
I can't believe this day is actually here. I've been thinking about study abroad and preparing to go for months, and now it's time to leave! I can't even imagine all the crazy adventures to come- new people, new places, new cultures. It's all so exciting-- and I'll be studying global health which makes it even more exciting for me. AND I'll be in DC for Obama's inauguration!!! Wahoo!! So here's the schedule:
Washington DC- January 17 to 28
Tanzania- January 29 to March 12
Vietnam- March 13 to May 8
I've packed my pocket knife, headlamp, biodegradable soap, and 2 pairs of pants (eek...I feel like I'm going camping) and I think I'm all ready to go! This trip is a bit daunting and I do feel slightly nervous, but I know it will be a wonderful experience. I expect to be challenged and taken out of my comfort zone, but learn so much and have my eyes opened to many different perspectives and ideas that I would never be exposed to by staying at Tufts. Oh, and hopefully have some fun along the way. I will keep an open mind, learn as much as I possibly can, and take lots of pictures!
I hope everyone has a great semester, I will miss you all, and I'll try to update this as often as possible! Goodbye!
Love,
Sarah Wells
