The date of my last post was exactly one month ago. Of course, this means that i have to write another. But I'm going to try to update more recently. Not like anyone really wants to read this thing anyways.

But how shall I start this collection of nouns and verbs ...an update perhaps?
When I last left this blog, I was packing to leave for the place that I couldn't go more than eight hours without thinking about. How was it, you may be wondering. Well words can't even begin to cover it. Especially the view from the mountain. The vision which you saw when you gazed out past the white, slushy snow, the metal and plastic rails, the inviting jumps and the groups of snowboarders who have all come here for a common cause, was breath-taking in every way. After nine days, I still wasn't used to it.

Then I started on my next adventure of the annual trip to my "homeland" or at least one of them. --pause--

How can anyone say that they are of one nationality or another? Everyone's parents have come from some place or another. None of us originiated in the country we currently reside in. Unless of couse, you're whole family live in Africa and have never moved from there.

Speaking of, a family like that is the Samburu Tribe. Are you aware of what they go through everyday? The women walk around twelve long, hot, straining miles everyday with buckets to try to find water, clean or not, to bring back for their children. Most days, though, result with nothing. How would you like it if that's how you lived? Does it open up your eyes to the massive fortune that we are in? We take so much for granted and this one tribe should help put everything in perspective.

Now if you are one of those people who have just had their heart tugged at, then fear not. You can help. I have, and it's quite simple.

If you notice on the left hand side of my page, there is a section that says;; "help save the world";;
under, is a few links. Click on the one that says, "The Samburu Project". It will take you straight to the page that is dedicated to helping these poor women who suffer risks in health, family, and education, if they dont find fresh water.

What are they fantastic people doing, you ask? They build wells for them so that they can collect fresh water without walking 12 miles and risking the health of the women.

What did I do? Surely, a girl of my age and location couldn't have done anything. Well that's not exactly true. I've donated in my own way by buying to teeshirts from them which goes to the cause.

If you're like me, and you want to help change the world, take small steps first. It's not as hard as you think. trust me.
