Belmont University

On the Way to Africa!


BUAfrica BNA.jpgYesterday, seventeen students and four faculty left for the 2009 Belmont in Africa study abroad experience. They should arrive in Cape Town by approximately 4:00 p.m. CST on Monday afternoon. We'll try to give you a daily reporting of their experiences with pictures so you can see a little of what they see. The students will have access to the site as well, so they will be glad to see comments from home.

Each day different students will write about their experiences and about something transformative that happened that day. Travel with them over the next three weeks as they work first in Cape Town, South Africa, and then in Gabarone, Botswana. They'll do some sightseeing, but they will mostly be learning as they serve and work with others. Check in regularly!

Hi Natalie,

I was so happy to hear from you last week.

Hope you're feeling better, so you can put all your love and energy in helping
and sharing your time and talents with your new friends in Africa.

Enjoy your fellowship with your
school friends and chaperones.

May our Lord continually bless and keep you and your group save during your stay in Africa.

Love Always,

Grandma
