In Januray 2010, I had the opportunity to travel abroad to Burma with New Community Project. NCP is a faith-based organization with the modest goal of changing the world. Their emphasis is on building real relationships with brothers and sisters abroad who need a leg up. They work towards sustainability, women empowerment, and education - just to name a few. They're active in Burma, as well as Sudan, Nepal, Honduras, and Ecuador (just to name a few).

I journaled everyday and then transferred them to my blog. My entries are listed in order.
