After spending two months in Malawi last summer, Africa has captured a piece of my heart and I have been longing to go back. This November, I have been blessed with the opportunity to return to Africa with Children of the Nations. The trip is October 30-November 20. I will be spending 2 weeks in Malawi and 1 week in Uganda. This trip, however, is a bit different from other trips I have been on. Besides the standard loving on kids that comes with COTN trips, the trip will focus on writing. This first-time COTN writing team will travel to Malawi and Uganda to interview COTN children, national staff, and teachers in order to write stories for the communications department to use throughout the year. The stories will help to communicate to partners, supporters, and the general public what God is doing through COTN in Malawi and Uganda. The team will also be giving writing workshops. I am excited to be able to use a passion for writing to help COTN further its mission to “raise children who transform nations” and to return to the continent that has captured my heart.

The estimated cost of the trip is $5,200. In the near future, I will be posting ways to partner with me.
