A Volunteer’s Voice… trying to leave Daraja (Sarah Montgomery)

I will post this with out any edits. Sarah, is on safari with her mom and Claire in the most National Geographic-esque part of Kenya – the Maasai Mara, which is the Northern 1/10th of the Serengetti Plain. I will Publish her entire Email, as-is and let her own words speak for themselves. The fact that an 18 year old young woman from California can feel such a strong connection, makes the entire project and its identity as a “bridge between cultures” just feel right.                -Jason

SARAH:

Hey! I just wanted today to say “Hi and that I miss you Jenni, and the girls a lot!”

I was wondering if I could do one last BLOG post because during the last days
I didn’t describe very well what was the most valuable. If you could relay this
message on to the girls that would be great. I will email more stuff
when we get to a better internet and computer.

Hi Girls! I miss you a lot already! I think about you a lot. I can’t
wait to hear how you girls are doing in school (and with football).
When I get back to America I will send you letters! We are currently
in the Maasai Mara and I know you girls would love the animals we have
seen (lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes). I know you girls
may be having a hard time right now, but I don’t want you to be sad
because it will make me miss you more than I already am (which is a
lot!).

Keep up all the hard work you are doing and know that I love
you all so very much and I can’t wait to be back! If you ever need me,
just ask Jenni how to get ahold of me for my information!

I love and miss you girls!

Love,
Sarah


Thanks for sending this. Jenni, I miss you a lot too. I will cover any
expenses from the girls wanting to contact me! Words cannot describe
the experience!

How did the past few days go?


Love and miss you!
Sarah
