Hi everyone! So I'm currently prepping for my trip to South Korea to volunteer at an orphanage. Oh boy. A lot of changes are happening pretty quickly. I'm working full time as well as trying to fund raise. No complaints, though. It's actually quite a lot of fun. I'm enjoying working this hard, knowing that I will have the satisfaction of knowing that a large amount of the money that I needed for going to South Korea came out of my own time and effort, and paycheck.
I've been making cupcakes as part of my fund raising attempts, and thus far they have been pretty successful. Plus, my friends and coworkers always enjoy when I have extra cupcakes that aren't "pretty enough" to sell.
I am going to be going to South Korea through a non profit organization called United Planet. United Planet does anything from letting people volunteer, or internship, over seas for as short as 2 weeks, and as long as a year. I chose a year in South Korea. I'm not entirely sure where I will be headed, yet. Unfortunately I probably wont find out for a few more months.
I chose South Korea, mostly because I don't know much about South Korea. I've heard it is beautiful, and I've always been one to love adventures. So, with that in the mix, I chose to head off to what some would imagine to be the most unlikely area of chose, almost ever.
I don't know much about the area, or culture, so if any of you readers DO have any idea, I would love to hear it! After all, one is always better off when prepared!
Until I have further news, I will continue baking cupcakes, and working full time. But, if you'd like to drop off a donation, of even $10.00, that would be a huge help!
Thanks for your time, and here's my donation site!
