The event starts at 6:00 p.m. and will include light refreshments; a short, informative presentation about the World Partnership Walk (an annual event to raise money for and awareness about global development in Asia and Africa); information about travel opportunities in Asia and Africa; a slide show of my trips to South Africa and East Africa; and door prizes.

Travel advisors from Adventure Travel Company and representatives from the World Partnership Walk will be on hand to answer any questions you have about traveling around and/or making a difference in Asia and Africa.

Hope to see you there!

I'll be wearing a World Partnership Walk t-shirt and my yellow EOC ball cap. You can also check out my photo in the volunteer section.
