In just fourteen days we will be headed to southern Africa for a two month stay. Our first two weeks will be spent visiting friends in South Africa & Swaziland before heading to Zambia for the remaining six weeks. There, Dan will be working at the Macha Mission Hospital, a Brethren in Christ hospital in rural southern Zambia about 70km (44miles) from a town called Choma. Amy will be volunteering at a school called Macha Innovative Christian School (MICS) nearby. Our travel is being made possible through the Mennonite Medical Association's Student Elective Term (SET) and Dan is also receiving credit towards some graduation requirements at school.
We are excited about this opportunity and hope to share some of our experiences here on this blog (and in person when we return).

Like one of Amy's braided rugs, our lives are woven with different strands.
Intro
Welcome to our blog! This is a venue for sharing some of our photos, reflections and updates on our lives. We created this blog because of our trip to Zambia in early 2009, but it will continue beyond our two months in southern Africa. Have a look around and feel free to send us your comments.

Ahh, enjoy your travels! I hope you two have a meaningful experience! We'll keep track of things on your blogspot (and live vicariously)... We're already considering how to work in a MMA trip.
