MySpace a place for friends

I'm just an average girl who wants to be in the thick of the action in
changing the world.

I dream big.  I always have. 

Ever since I was about 12 years old I've dreamt of Africa. 
Working in Africa. 
Living in Africa. 
Helping Africa and Africans. 

I remember when Band Aid was on.  A spark had already my lit inside me but watching those horrifying images as a child the spark grew into a wildfire. 

Theres been times in my life when I've tried to hide the fire.  Doing things in the background and hoping I wouldn't get noticed. But no matter how hard I tried the passion inside me screamed to be let out.

So here I am. 
Screaming to be heard.  Trying to set fire inside others. 


One person can make a difference. 

Fast Facts:
