It's difficult to believe...after a year of dreaming about ISLP Africa and months of planning, our departure time is here. We are very excited about the service learning work that our ISLP teams have planned and look forward to our journey to Botswana.
Our itinerary will take us from Louisville to Atlanta, GA, to Johannesburg, South Africa, to Gaborone, Botswana. We depart on April 29 and return on May 6. During the ISLP, trip we will go on some cultural excursions, meet with local officials and leaders, and work in two high schools in Gaborone.
Our team is composed of 21 students and faculty from Communications, Education, Justice Administration, and Psychology. We will work as an interdisciplinary team to present topics such as bullying, resiliency, alcohol use and abuse, and persuasive speaking. A variety of presentations, large group activities, and small group activities are planned.
We invite you to join our blog and follow our experiences in ISLP 2010 Africa. We will post pictures and stories each day of our trip. Please post your greetings and notes to our participants. Since we are far from home, we look forward to hearing from you.
