Check out the Teen Club blog!

Botswana Baylor Teen Club has just created a blog to document different events and achievements at Teen Clubs held throughout Botswana, including the one I help run in Mochudi. Please take a look, and donate if you get a chance- this is a fabulous programme that has helped hundreds of HIV positive teens throughout Botswana. Thanks for your support!

Pool Party!











Every month I help run the Teen Club that is sponsored through Baylor Clinic- a fantastic pediatric AIDS program based in Gaborone. This last weekend I got to accompany the Mochudi Teen Club on a field trip to go swimming. Most kids rarely get a reprieve from the brutal Botswana summer heat, so this was quite a treat- for myself as well! Most of the kids knew how to at least float, but few knew how to swim. It was a great experience trying to teach kids to swim and how to let go and feel free in the water- definitely not an easy task, but a good time nonetheless.
