Ok, I am really into this-wow, why did it take me so long! :)
I, Misha here who will probably do most of the communicating, am volunterring with a wonderful organization called the International Rescue Committee as a Youth Mentor. This is the realization of a beautiful burden the Lord placed on my heart years ago-a burden for Africa (whatever that means-the Lord fine tunes it daily). After moving to NYC I thought, "How can I help Africa while living here in the States?" then the Lord said, "Africa is Here!" The Lord is never wrong; He then put on my heart a desire to work with refugees helping them in their transition to life in of all places crazy New York City. So after: seeing a few documentaries, sending some emails, doing websearches, going to interviews and training sessions and LOTS of prayer I am Mentoring a wonderful teenager from Sierra Leonne, Umu. We immediately connected with a HUGE hug and had a blast on our first adventure together. We went picnicking in Central Park on a beautiful sunny day-it was her first time there! This is the LIFE connecting with people! Praise You Lord!
